RESUMO Introdução: A interação com a polícia pode afetar a confiança dos cidadãos na instituição. Este estudo analisa como diferentes aspectos dessa interação influenciam a confiança dos cidadãos na instituição policial. Materiais e métodos: Foram avaliados cinco aspectos da interação: tratamento recebido dos policiais, rapidez do atendimento, atenção dada às informações prestadas pelos cidadãos, explicação sobre os próximos procedimentos a serem adotados na condução do caso e a satisfação com sua resolução. Duas hipóteses são testadas: 1) avaliações mais positivas geram maior confiança; 2) a satisfação com o tratamento tem a maior influência na confiança. Para o estudo, foram usados dados do NEV-USP com informações representativas da cidade de São Paulo coletadas em 2015, 2017 e 2018. Os dados foram analisados através de modelos de efeitos mistos. Resultados: A pesquisa revelou que apenas o tratamento recebido pelos policiais estava positivamente associado à confiança dos cidadãos. Os demais aspectos da interação não demonstraram influência significativa na confiança. Discussão: Em São Paulo, o modo como os policiais tratam os cidadãos é o fator mais influente na confiança destes na instituição policial, mais do que a eficácia da resolução do problema. Assim, treinamentos que enfatizem o relacionamento com os cidadãos são cruciais para fortalecer a confiança da população na polícia.

Studies on police institutions have argued that the internal treatment given to agents contributes to define how these agents will treat the communities to which they provide services. Brazil’s main police force has a military structure and formal ties with the Armed Forces. These military characteristics include career structure, regulations, manuals, and disciplinary regiments either copied or adapted from the Army. In this work, we analyse data from a survey applied to 298 military police officers stationed in the city of São Paulo. Using Structural Equation Modelling, we analysed whether, among the police officers who answered a Disciplinary Administrative Proceeding, their evaluation of having been granted the right to speak, treated with respect during the process, and a fair outcome at the end impact their perceptions about their relationship with peers, superiors, and their views on organizational justice. Our findings reveal that respectful treatment during the proceeding was more important than a favourable outcome, and the perception of having been treated with respect during the Disciplinary Administrative Proceeding positively impacts their views about their superiors and organizational justice. These findings help us to reflect on the impacts of the militarization of Public Security on internal relationships as well as the importance of procedural justice within this context.

Objectives: The police killing of George Floyd energized the Black Lives Matter (BLM) social movement across the United States in the summer of 2020. We test the impact on public perceptions of the fairness and legitimacy of the police and law. Methods: A four-state, three-wave, short-term longitudinal study ( N = 1048; Arizona, Michigan, New York, and Texas) used a novel design focused on differences in change over time to test whether public perceptions changed after the killing of Floyd. Results: Fielding multiple outcome markers, as well as multiple pseudo-placebo comparison variables, we found that perceptions of police procedural justice, distributive justice, and bounded authority, as well as perceptions of the legitimacy of the police and law, declined following Floyd's murder. Levels of trust in science, identification with healthcare workers, and collective efficacy perceptions did not change. As discussed in the paper, the effects varied by participants’ political views. Conclusions: The police killing of George Floyd and subsequent protests seemed to have damaged attitudes towards police and the law.
