Purpose

While the past few decades have witnessed a substantial number of studies on public attitudes toward the police, a relatively thin line of inquiry has focused exclusively on low income urban Black-Americans, and especially street-identified Black populations. The purpose of this paper, however, is to examine trust in police amongst street-identified Black men and women.

Design/methodology/approach

Relying on a street participatory action research methodological approach, the authors collected survey data (N = 520) from two low-income unban Black neighborhoods, to examine the effects of an instrumental model versus an expressive model on procedural- and outcome-based trust in police.

Findings

The findings suggested a community sample of street-identified Black men and women were able to differentiate between procedural- and outcome-based trust. The instrumental model was better in predicting procedural-based trust in police, while the expressive model accounted better for outcome-based trust in police.

Research limitations/implications

Implications for street participatory action research methodology, future research and policy are also discussed.

预测对警察的信任：在街头识别的黑人美国人中工具性和表达性关注的影响

目的

尽管在过去的几十年中，已经进行了大量关于公众对警察态度的研究，但相对较细的调查只针对低收入的城市黑人，尤其是街头黑人。但是，本文的目的是要研究在街头识别的黑人男女中对警察的信任。

设计/方法/方法

作者采用街头参与式行动研究方法论方法， 从两个低收入的非黑社会居民区收集了调查数据（N = 520），以检验工具模型和表达模型对基于程序和结果的信任的影响警察。

发现

调查结果表明，一个社区样本中有街头身份的黑人男女能够区分基于程序的信任和基于结果的信任。工具模型在预测基于程序的对警察的信任方面更好，而表达模型对基于结果的对警察的信任更好。

研究局限/意义

还讨论了对街头参与式行动研究方法论，未来研究和政策的影响。
