摘要

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine how celebrated cases affect attitudes toward police, controlling for key demographic, police contact, and neighborhood contextual variables. Design/methodology/approach - The paper presents two waves of public opinion data measuring attitudes toward police, police services, police harassment, and officer guilt before and after a celebrated police misconduct trial. Data were collected by telephone from residents living in three areas. Findings - The findings in the paper suggest that news consumption of this celebrated case had no significant effects on general attitudes toward police, police services, and concerns about police harassment. Media coverage, however, did effect citizen evaluation of the guilt of the officers involved in the case. The more a citizen read a newspaper or read about the case, the more likely she was to think that the officers were guilty. Concern about crime in the neighborhood was an important predictor of attitudes toward the police, and race effects were much more pronounced after media coverage of the case. Research limitations/implications - This paper highlights the need to examine more closely media coverage of celebrated cases and the effects of such high profile cases. In addition, it illustrates that public opinion research must be careful of contextual variables when conducting a study at a single point in time. Practical implications - These findings also have critical implications for law enforcement agencies. The findings highlight the importance of police departments being prepared to respond to crisis events. Originality/value - This paper is valuable to scholars and police practitioners because of its close examination of the effects of a celebrated case on various measures of public opinion of the police. Although there have many studies examining this general topic, research has ignored the impact of media coverage generally and coverage of high profile incidents.
机译：目的-本文的目的是研究著名案件如何影响对警察的态度，控制关键人口，警察接触和邻里环境变量。设计/方法/方法-本文提出了两波民意数据，用于衡量在著名的警察不当行为审判之前和之后对警察，警察部门，警察的骚扰和警官有罪的态度。通过电话从居住在三个地区的居民收集数据。调查结果-该论文的调查结果表明，此著名案件的新闻消费对警察，警察部门的普遍态度以及对警察骚扰的担忧没有重大影响。但是，媒体报道确实影响了市民对涉案人员的有罪感的评估。公民阅读报纸或阅读此案的次数越多，她就越有可能认为这些官员有罪。对邻里犯罪的担忧是人们对警察态度的重要预测因素，在媒体报道此案后，种族影响更为明显。研究的局限性/意义-本文强调需要更仔细地研究媒体对著名案例的报道以及此类引人注目的案例的影响。此外，它表明，在单个时间点进行研究时，舆论研究必须注意上下文变量。实际意义-这些发现对执法机构也具有关键意义。调查结果突显了警察部门准备应对危机事件的重要性。原创性/价值-该文件对学者和警察从业人员非常有价值，因为它仔细研究了一个著名案件对警察各种舆论手段的影响。尽管有许多研究这个通用主题的研究，但研究却忽略了媒体报道的普遍影响和重大事件的报道。
