Using Virtual Reality Simulations to Study Initial Burglary Investigations
Cory P. Haberman, Ming Tang, JC Barnes, Clay Driscoll, Bradley J. O’Guinn, Calvin Proffit, University of Cincinnati
In this presentation, we discuss using virtual reality to study police investigations. First, we present the results of an experiment assessing the impact of providing investigative checklists to patrol officers responding to a burglary call for service in a large midwestern police agency. Second, we discuss the lessons learned from developing virtual reality simulations with limited budgets and student-based development teams. Third, we discuss the lessons learned from using virtual reality as a data collection technique for policing research.
