Abstract/Description

This Division of Experimental Criminology sponsored panel showcases the work of division members who are using a variety of experimental methodologies – including randomized controlled trials, scenario experiments, and field experiments – to explore critical issues in criminal justice. Presentations examine the impact of investigations training on officer performance, the use of AI and body-worn cameras to assess officer professionalism, scenario-based assessments of police officer threat perceptions, and the influence of police vehicle presence on calls for service and police visibility. These presentations collectively underscore the utility of experimental methods for advancing evidence-based policy and practice.
