ABSTRACT The current study will add to the literature on public attitudes toward law enforcement by assessing the individual and contextual-level predictors of one of the key concepts in police legitimacy literature: trust. Examining individuals nested within zip code results showed a significant equalizing effect of structural resource deprivation on both White and Black respondents' perceptions of trust in the police. Additionally, results found respondents who perceived racial profiling to be widespread had a universally decreased likelihood of having trust in the police, and these disparities were exacerbated as structural resource deprivation increased.

难以获得信任：在一个主要的南部县，理清结构特征和种族对信任感的影响

摘要当前的研究将通过评估警察合法性文献中关键概念之一：信任的个人和上下文层面的预测因素，来增加有关公众对执法的态度的文献。对嵌套在邮政编码结果中的个人进行检查显示，结构资源匮乏对白人和黑人受访者对警察的信任感产生了显着的均等作用。此外，结果发现，认为种族分布广泛的受访者对警察信任的可能性普遍降低，随着结构性资源匮乏的加剧，这些差距进一步加剧。
