This is a montage of videos analyzed in my doctoral dissertation, COPS, CAMERAS AND ACCOUNTABILITY: USER-GENERATED ONLINE VIDEO AND PUBLIC SPACE POLICE-CIVILIAN INTERACTIONS. What is the outcome of user-generated online video on police-civilian interactions in American public space? This descriptive multiple-case study based on document analysis of publicly available documents examined 14 police-civilian interactions in American public space between 2005-2010 for the influence (if any) of user-generated online video on their outcomes.
Based on cross-case analysis of 38 variables of interest, generalizing to theory indicates that user-generated online video can improve accountability in police-civilian interactions. Several robust theories are proposed, and numerous opportunities for future research are delineated.
NB: I did not record any of these videos. These brief excerpts are included in this compilation under fair use for education and commentary. For detailed credits on each of the videos, please refer to my dissertation.
