Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
Full frame distilled prediction
Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Abstract
Considerable research focuses on the complainant experience with civilian oversight agencies but we know much less about the perceptions of divergent stakeholders on the fairness in quality of decision-making and treatment associated with investigating allegations of police misconduct. Over 150 members of the community, law enforcement, and policy-makers were brought together to collaboratively develop recommendations to improve the transparency, accessibility, and accountability of a Canadian police complaints system (PCS). Using participant observation and survey data, the findings suggest the majority of participants hold negative views due to underlying themes of distrust in the investigation process, a reluctance to report due to inadequate knowledge and a fear of police reprisals, particularly by high risk and marginalised populations. Stakeholder confidence cannot be separated from the principles of procedural justice and due process constraints. Views on the legitimacy of both the police and the PCS are shaped by the absence of procedural justice principles of fairness in treatment and decision-making. Further, citizens appear to confound perceptions of legitimacy of the PCS with that of behaviour during police–citizen encounters. Thus, to increase public confidence the PCSs must work with police services to improve relationships with the community by developing initiatives that target the elements of the procedural justice model separately.
