“…Alongside other scholars calling for the relationships between race and BWCs to be explicitly explored (Glasbeek et al, 2020), we note that future studies that contribute diverse samples will continue to build important knowledge related to the governance of BWCs. Furthermore, although the intersection of race and gender receives substantial scholarly attention, other aspects of intersecting social locations create barriers to accessing formal help that should be considered in relation to BWC use.…”

Research SummaryDespite constituting a substantial portion of police contacts, victims in general, and violence against women (VAW) survivors in particular, have received little attention in body‐worn camera (BWC) research. As BWCs proliferate in policing, crafting victim‐sensitive BWC policies is important. Drawing from qualitative interviews with 33 survivors of sexual assault and/or intimate partner violence, we identify themes that characterize victim‐sensitive BWC policies: notification, consent, alternative recording options, procedural consistency, and data storage and access. These findings lay a foundation for further research that can assess the generalizability of these themes to other samples of survivors.Policy ImplicationsVAW survivors are stakeholders who should be consulted in the production of victim‐sensitive BWC policy for police services. This exploratory study suggests that BWC use will be more victim‐sensitive when (1) officers notify victims of BWC use as soon as reasonably possible during an interaction, (2) officers ask victims if they consent to BWC recording, (3) officers deactivate the video recording function of the BWC (or reposition the BWC's lens away from the victim) if consent is not provided or if doing so would make the victim more comfortable, (4) police services ensure that BWCs are used consistently by frontline members, that BWC videos are regularly subject to supervisory review, and that videos are appropriately used in training to prepare for quality survivor‐police interactions, and (5) officers and services provide victims with clear information regarding BWC footage access and data security.

“…Prior to this request, he had become suspicious that his manager was surveilling him and, after reviewing his HR file, he had become aware of the employers' elaborate ruse. In this vein, Participant H was subjected to racialized workplace surveillance since the labour management processes viewed him as the perennial other, the usual suspect -a matter that has been well-documented in the literature in other contexts (Alimahomed-Wilson, 2019;Canella, 2018;Finn, 2011;Glasbeek et al, 2020;Lowe et al, 2017;Nichols et al, 2018).…”

The Wretched of the Work: Anger, Fear, and Hopelessness as Impacts of Experiencing Workplace Racism in British Columbia, Canada

Drawing inspiration from Frantz Fanon’s work on the colonization of racialized subjects, this article illuminates how racial discrimination impacted the wretched of the work, in reference to a group of racialized civil servants, in primarily White institutions of public service in British Columbia, Canada. Specifically, using data from twenty-five in-depth qualitative interviews, the article presents findings on the affective impacts of workplace racism on this group of participants. In this regard, anger is discussed as internalized, nonviolent and pent-up frustration over oppressive everyday microprocesses that presented significant workplace barriers to racialized workers. Subsequently, fear is outlined as shaped by the lingering concerns on the part of racialized subjects over the very real prospects that their employers could retaliate against participants using any pretext and at any given time. Lastly, hopelessness is explicated as the feeling of disempowerment driven by the belief that workplace inequities would persist irrespective of what participants did to seek equal and respectful treatment at work. Ultimately, through outlining findings as anger, fear, and hopelessness, this article adds to the existing body of scholarship on how workplace racism not only leaves an indelible mark on racialized targets but also why it wreaks havoc in employment relations, further reinforcing existing empirical literature on the debilitating impacts of workplace racism. Lastly, in view of the fact that racialized public servants have received scant research attention, the findings underscore the need for publicly-funded employers to address White supremacy and institutional domination in their midst on a priority basis.

In dit artikel wordt, op basis van een scoping review naar internationale beleidsaanbevelingen, nagegaan wat de belangrijkste aspecten zijn met betrekking tot een beleid inzake politioneel bodycamgebruik. Hoewel de meeste bronnen op de shortlist afkomstig zijn uit de Verenigde Staten, worden belangrijke handvaten geboden voor een Belgisch bodycambeleid. Voorbeelden zijn een duidelijk activitatiebeleid en richtlijnen m.b.t. het geven van een waarschuwing. Deze aanbevelingen worden afgetoetst aan de wettelijke bepalingen inzake bodycams in België, zoals de individuele beslissingsruimte van Belgische politieambtenaren bij het activeren van de camera. Doorheen het artikel wordt het bodycamgebruik gelinkt aan procedurele rechtvaardigheid. Gezien de schaarste aan bodycamonderzoek in België, worden ook aanbevelingen gegeven voor verder onderzoek naar het thema.
