LLC20131 online resource (185 p.)Criminal justice : recent scholarshipDescription based upon print version of record.1-59332-515-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.Public attitudes toward the police in a democratic society -- A historical review of research on public ATP -- A review of measure on public ATP -- Theoretical models of research on public ATP -- Methodology -- Determinants of public ATP across races/ethnics -- Discussion and conclusion.Lai extends the current knowledge of public attitudes toward the police (ATP) by examining two distinct dimensions: general and specific attitudes. The significant findings indicated that African Americans consistently reported unfavorable ATP across two dimensions, but the Hispanics did not have any significant influence. While ratings of police work were highly related to public ATP, victimization and violent crime incidents decreased the levels of public rating among all respondents. Meanwhile, coproduction increased the levels of public ATP. Finally, both citizen-initiated and police-initiated interactions had significant influence on public ATP but varied among racial/ethnical groups. Policy implications and limitations were addressed.Criminal justice (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)Police-community relationsUnited StatesCommunity policingUnited StatesPoliceUnited StatesAttitudesMulticulturalismUnited StatesDiscrimination in law enforcementUnited StatesPolice-community relationsCommunity policingPoliceAttitudes.MulticulturalismDiscrimination in law enforcement363.2/3080973Lai Yung-Lien1972-1541833MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786221703321Policing diversity3794212UNINA
