“…While this methodology has become common in the study of public attitudes towards the police (e.g. Gerber and Jackson, 2013 ; Tyler et al , 2014 ; Hamm et al , 2017 ; Pedersen et al , 2017 ; Pickett et al , 2018 ), it relies on nonprobability convenience samples. As noted earlier, the sample of this study closely resembles the population of adult, non-Orthodox Jews in Israel in terms of personal status, gender, age, and country of origin, but the observed difference in education may be partly attributed to the non-random sampling procedure.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the work of police agencies worldwide. Within a short period of time, the police were assigned new responsibilities and were required to change their priorities and focus on enforcing unusual emergency orders. These new tasks, as well as the emergency atmosphere and its socio-psychological implications, raise a series of questions about public expectations from and trust in the police during the pandemic period. In this article, we report the views of majority communities in Israel (non-Orthodox Jews), as expressed in a survey carried out in the midst of the pandemic. We find that this population supports police enforcement of the new orders and trusts them to do so with integrity, believes the police have been successful in this arena, and is willing to report violations of emergency regulations. Overall, responses indicate more favourable attitudes towards the police, echoing previous findings on policing emergencies.

“…Recent work has shown that perceptions of the legitimacy of nonlegal authorities—such as one’s parents—are associated with rule violation in a similar way as police legitimacy evaluations (Cohn et al 2010, 2012; Trinkner and Cohn 2014). This line of research is part of a larger growing trend that has begun examining how social factors impact individuals’ attitudes toward criminal justice authority (Pickett, Nix, and Roche 2018). One promising line of research examines how parental assessments of legitimacy influence their children’s perceptions of the legitimacy of legal actors (Cavanagh and Cauffman 2015; Wolfe et al 2017).…”

Objectives: A body of literature has demonstrated that the perceived legitimacy of legal authorities is an important predictor of criminal offending. Criminal offending is itself age-graded and good explanations of offending should offer some insight for how it changes as individuals age. This article attempts to address this gap by developing and testing seven hypotheses regarding how legitimacy changes over time. Method: Using panel data from the Pathways to Desistance study, a latent growth model (LGM) for legitimacy examines how evaluations of legitimacy change from adolescence to emerging adulthood as well as what factors influence this change. Results: During the period individuals were involved in the study, the LGM revealed that perceptions of legitimacy increase as individuals progress through adolescence before stabilizing in emerging adulthood. Several theoretical factors were related to individuals’ legitimacy evaluations including parental evaluations of legitimacy, family support, emotionality, and self-control. Most importantly, perceptions of procedural justice were found to be related to legitimacy, but this relationship weakened as individuals aged. Conclusions: Evaluations of the legitimacy of legal authorities are, in fact, age-graded. Criminologists should continue to explore the sources of legitimacy evaluations in further developing legitimacy as an important theory of criminal behavior.

“…The racial divide in fear may be mediated by past experiences with police mistreatment (16,17). Alternatively, it may reflect differences in other relevant experiences, in residential context, especially in perceived neighborhood conditions (17,18), in socioeconomic status, in family structure, or in political and religious socialization-factors that influence other types of fear and/or attitudes toward criminal justice. Our survey measured these potential sources of police-related fearfulness.…”

We measured personal and altruistic fear of the police in a nationwide sample of Americans (N = 1,150), which included comparable numbers of Blacks (N = 517) and Whites (N = 492). Whites felt safe, but Blacks feared the police even more than crime, being afraid both for themselves and for others they cared about. The racial divide in fear was mediated by experiences with police mistreatment. In turn, fear mediated the effects of race and past mistreatment on support for defunding the police and intentions to have “the talk” with family youths about the need to distrust and avoid officers. About half of Blacks said they would rather be the victim of a serious crime than be questioned or searched by the police. The results show that when it comes to the police, Blacks and Whites live in different emotional worlds, one of fear and the other of felt safety.
