This paper presents novel survey and experimental evidence that reveals the mass public's interpretation of movements to reform, defund, and abolish the police. We find strong support for police reform, but efforts to defund or abolish generate opposition both in terms of slogan and substance. While these differences cannot be explained by differing beliefs about each movement's association with violent protests, racial makeup, or specific programmatic changes, efforts to defund and abolish the police appear unpopular because they seek reduced involvement of police in traditional roles and cuts in police numbers.

对重塑警务的提议的大规模支持取决于对犯罪和安全的影响

本文提供了新颖的调查和实验证据，揭示了大众对改革、撤资和废除警察运动的解释。我们发现对警察改革的大力支持，但从口号和实质上来说，撤资或废除的努力都会引起反对。虽然这些差异不能用对每个运动与暴力抗议、种族构成或特定方案变化的关联的不同信念来解释，但取消对警察的资助和废除警察的努力似乎并不受欢迎，因为他们寻求减少警察在传统角色中的参与并削减警察人数。
