“…For instance, three of the four most common reasons not to report crime by victims in England and Wales in 2018 were the beliefs that the police could not do anything (33%), that the police was not interested (20%), and the decision to deal with it privately without the police (19%) (Office for National Statistics, 2019). Overall, cooperation with the police increases with perceived police legitimacy (Sunshine & Tyler, 2003), and in particular by perceived trust in the police (Papp et al, 2017). Albeit there are mixed findings, perceptions regarding how just and effective the police are also seem to influence cooperation (Papp et al, 2017;Tyler and Fagan, 2008).…”

“…Besides the risks and benefits associated with the cooperating behaviour (Clayman & Skinns, 2012), the individual's moral ideas about society are critical when deciding to cooperate with the police (Papp et al, 2017). Aspects related to the individual's perceptions of the police determine cooperation.…”

Albeit there are mixed findings, perceptions regarding how just and effective the police are also seem to influence cooperation (Papp et al, 2017;Tyler and Fagan, 2008). People's perceptions of the police can be formed by personally experienced interactions with the police or indirectly through the experience of others (Rosenbaum et al, 2005).…”

“…Regarding the instrumental benefits and risks involved in crime reporting, there are two main factors that reduce cooperation: the relationship between the witness and the offender (Nicksa, 2014), and fear of retaliation (Clayman & Skinns, 2012;Papp et al, 2017).…”

“…For example, crimes causing substantial damage or serious harm, such as murder or assault, are more likely to be reported (Spencer & Stern, 2001). However, violent offences can deter cooperation, as witnesses may fear retaliation from the suspect (Papp, et al, 2017). Violent offences may also increase the risk for intimidation (Maynard, 1994).…”

Management of COVID‐19 largely depends on the reporting of suspected or confirmed positive cases. This study examined public's suspect report intention during COVID‐19 using and extending the theory of planned behavior by adding two incident‐specific variables such as perceived severity of COVID‐19 and fear of retaliation. Direct association of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control with suspect report intention and moderating role of perceived severity of COVID‐19 and fear of retaliation were probed. This study also investigated whether the moderation of perceived severity of COVID‐19 (primary moderator) varies with different level of fear of retaliation (secondary moderator) using moderated moderation analysis. Analyzing data collected from 554 Indian citizens provides evidence that attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control were positively associated with suspect report intention. Perceived severity of COVID‐19 and fear of retaliation negatively moderated such associations. When fear of retaliation was high, high perceived severity of COVID‐19 did not positively moderate the association of attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control with suspect report intention. Perceived behavioral control was the most potent facilitator and fear of retaliation was the strongest inhibitor of suspect report intention. Understanding people's suspect report intention can assist in implementing awareness programs to encourage suspect report intention and stop the community spread of COVID‐19.
