Police-citizen relations are in the public spotlight following
outbursts of anger and violence. Such clashes often happen as a
response to fatal police shootings, racial or ethnic
discrimination, or the mishandling of mass protests. But even in
such cases, citizens' assessment of the police differs considerably
across social groups. This raises the question of the sources and
impediments of citizens' trust and support for police. Why are
police-citizen relations much better in some countries than in
others? Are police-minority relations doomed to be strained? And
which police practices and policing policies generate trust and
legitimacy? Research on police legitimacy has been centred on US
experiences, and relied on procedural justice as the main
theoretical approach. This book questions whether this approach is
suitable and sufficient to understand public attitudes towards the
police across different countries and regions of the world. This
volume shows that the impact of macro-level conditions, of societal
cleavages, and of state and political institutions on
police-citizen relations has too often been neglected in
contemporary research. Building on empirical studies from around
the world as well as cross-national comparisons, this volume
considerably expands current perspectives on the sources of police
legitimacy and citizens' trust in the police. Combining the
analysis of micro-level interactions with a perspective on the
contextual framework and varying national conditions, the
contributions to this book illustrate the strength of a broadened
perspective and lead us to ask how specific national frameworks
shape the experiences of policing.
