Encouraging public cooperation and support for police
Open accessAbstract
This paper explores how to increase public cooperation and support for police. To date, only a few studies have attempted to explore the role that procedural justice plays in shaping the public's willingness to assist police in crime control. The present study explores this much neglected field of research using both crosssectional survey data and panel data. The study finds that views about police legitimacy do influence public cooperation with the police, and that those who view the police as more legitimate are more likely to assist police to control crime. The key antecedent of legitimacy is procedural justice; those who are more likely to believe police use procedural justice in their dealings with the public are more likely to perceive police as legitimate.

In the citing paper
“In a general sense, we do know that if the police are evaluated as exercising their authority fairly, they are viewed as more legitimate (see Elliott, Thomas, & Ogloff, 2011;Fischer et al., 2008;Murphy, Hinds, & Fleming, 2008;Reisig, Bratton, & Gertz, 2007).”
From Legitimacy in Policing: A Systematic Review (2013) · cites this paper as Murphy, Hinds, & Fleming, 2008
In the citing paper
“Murphy and colleagues (2008), for example, examined the impact of a community policing intervention on perceptions of police legitimacy and cooperation with police, finding that procedurally just encounters influenced changes in general perceptions of police legitimacy over time, and that perceptions of police legitimacy subsequently influenced cooperation with police.”
From Legitimacy in Policing: A Systematic Review (2013) · cites this paper as Murphy et al., 2008
In the citing paper
“Inflated (by 25 percent) to render the index comparable to five-point scales formed in previous research, the means of 3.5 and 3.8 are similar to the levels of legitimacy reported by Tyler and Fagan (2008), Murphy and Cherney (2012), and Murphy et al. (2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
