Survey

Earlier today I was reminded of some data I’m sitting on that my colleagues and I never published anywhere. This comes from a web-based survey of police officers at a large, southern agency that we administered in 2018. The response rate was 31%. So we asked officers to consider eight ideas that “have been proposed as ways to improve policing” and indicate the extent they supported or opposed each. We listed a hodgepodge of “reforms” including some that would (1) expand police authority, (2) restrict police authority, or (3) increase citizen oversight.

Our survey experiment suggests the wording of questions about police fairness matters.

At the 2019 ASC Conference, I present findings from research with Natalie Todak and Brandon Tregle on BWCs and police transparency.

We examine police perceptions of their legitimacy in the eyes of the public, using survey data from two police samples.

Three experiments showed that citizen demeanor affects officers' emotions and cognitions, independent of compliance.
