Just Authority?: Trust in the Police in England and Wales
Autor Jonathan Jackson, Ben Bradford, Betsy Stanko, Katrin Hohlen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 ian 2014
Drawing on psychological and sociological explanatory paradigms, Just Authority? presents a cutting-edge empirical study into public trust, police legitimacy, and people’s readiness to cooperate with officers. It represents, first, the most detailed test to date of Tom Tyler’s procedural justice model attempted outside the United States. Second, it uncovers the social ecology of trust and legitimacy and, third, it describes the relationships between trust, legitimacy and cooperation.
This book contains many important lessons for practitioners, policy-makers and academics. As elsewhere the dominant vision of policing in Great Britain continues to stress instrumental effectiveness: the ‘fight against crime’ will be won by pro-active and even aggressive policing. In line with work from the United States and elsewhere, Just Authority? casts significant doubt on such claims. When people find policing to be unfair, disrespectful and careless of human dignity, not only is trust lost, legitimacy is also damaged and cooperation is withdrawn as a result. Absent such public support, the job of the police is made harder and the avowed objectives of less crime and disorder placed ever further from reach.

Recenzii
"This book is a landmark in police research. It sets out a well-evidenced and totally persuasive argument for taking issues of police legitimacy and public trust in policing seriously. It should be required reading for anyone with an interest in police reform – but at the same time, it represents a significant advance in criminological theory" – Mike Hough, Professor of Criminal Policy and Co-Director of the Institute for Criminal Policy Research, Birkbeck, University of London, UK.
"The book [...] is a comprehensive and timely exploration of public perceptions of police in London." – Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books
"This book […] is both relevant to academics for the additions it makes to the theoretical debate around legitimacy and police officers for the inherent policy implications." – Alex Murray, Superintendent, West Midlands Police and chair of the Society of Evidence Based Policing, in Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice.
"On the basis of this review, I would recommend the text for its engaging content, and relevance within current literature on the subject. It has the potential for a wide readership, drawing as it does upon theory and empirical findings in an accessible way, to discuss a timely and significant topic in the form of public and police relations. That there are important implications to be gained from such discussions, notably in terms of increased challenges for police where public support is lost or damaged, may also highlight the innovative nature of this text." – Emma Smith, University of Stirling, The Howard League for Penal Reform
