Preferred term
public opinion on the police
Definition
- Since the late 1960s, there has been a rich tradition in criminological research studying public opinion of police. Such research is important because it provides a knowledge base for policymakers and police administrators to design and implement better policies and practices that can enhance public support and subsequently improve police accountability and police-community relations.
