The post you are responding to is about punishing the victim because teachers are too lazy/cowards to punish the culprits. Cams incentivize them to do the right thing.
- exe34 10mo agoDoes it work? I'd be interested to know if you know of any statistics around this.
- LtWorf 10mo agoProbably not but won't you think of the children?
- IAmBroom 10mo agoIt would take the incident from "he said/she said" to video evidence. Why wouldn't that work?
- narag 10mo agoAre you interested in the statistics or in knowing if I know any? I hate camera proliferation but, judging by the YouTube plenty of bodycam footage, it does work. You won't likely find the numbers you want because the very nature of the problem is that cameras make visible something that wasn't.
- robryk 10mo agoEven if the situations are noticed and seen fully, does it cause the schools to not punish the victim? The stories I've heard about zero tolerance policies were that _even when the situation was fully obvious_, victims got punished because they took part in an altercation.
- lotsofpulp 10mo agoThe video evidence is just one piece of the puzzle that is needed to help administrators properly adjudicate conflicts, and to help the public hold the administrators accountable. If the rot is so deep that even who was right and who was wrong does not matter, then that is a separate issue that members of the public need to sort out with each other.
