Cops in crisis?: ethnographic insights on a new era of politicization, activism, accountability, and change in transatlantic policing

Abstract: Against the complex backdrop of a post-modern era, characterized by a renewed emphasis on public accountability, oppositional social and political movements, it has been argued that traditional agents of social control have increasingly begun to experience a sense of disempowerment. Nowhere has this been more apparent than within the context of policing, where the increased influence of the mass media, social media, and newly empowered groups has led to an apparent legitimacy crisis on both sides of the Atlant… Show more

“…Even the most generous assessment-looking at the largest before-and-after difference within 95% confidence intervals-suggests, at most, an increase of just .118 points on a 4-point scale of officers who believe that "the media treat the police unfairly." The lack of evidence found in these data for the demoralization hypothesis contradicts several retrospective studies that asked officers to report how their attitudes changed after protests (Deuchar et al, 2020;Deuchar et al, 2019;Torres et al, 2018). The inconsistency between the present study and prior studies suggests that findings may be related to study methods, an issue addressed in more detail in the following section.…”

“…There are research implications of these findings. This study seems to contradict several previous studies of the Ferguson Effect, which suggested substantial worsening of attitudes among post-Ferguson officers (Deuchar et al, 2020;Deuchar et al, 2019;Nix & Pickett, 2017;Nix, Wolfe, & Campbell, 2018;Torres et al, 2018;. This raises the possibility that the contradictory findings are a result of differences in research designs.…”
