Mistrust of police


  • Lack of confidence in police

Nature

The police operate on the strength of collective myths: the power of the uniform, the threat of being caught, the justice of the legal system. But some people and even some police officers no longer believe in these myths, in policing by consent.

Claim

  1. People's perceptions of police performance may not be wholly rooted in reality, but the fall in confidence is not an illusion.
