“…Inflated (by 25 percent) to render the index comparable to five-point scales formed in previous research, the means of 3. 5 and 3.8 are similar to the levels of legitimacy reported by Tyler and Fagan (2008), Murphy and Cherney (2012), and Murphy et al (2008).…”

“…The normative school does not dictate that a simple cost-benefit analysis can explain the public-police relations; rather, it emphasizes that people are moral agents concerned more with issues of "proper" authority than maximizing their benefits and positive outcomes (Reisig, Tankebe, & Mesko, 2013). The studies on procedural justice assert that a duty to obey police and cooperate with them comes from a greater concept of police legitimacy grounded in public trust of police as an institution and an understanding that the police act in the best interests of the citizenry (Murphy, Hinds, & Fleming, 2008;Sunshine & Tyler, 2003). Hence, the police need "to activate feelings of obligation and responsibility for their effectiveness" among citizens in order to achieve high levels of cooperation in criminal investigation (Tyler, 2006, p. 13;.…”

“…fairness in decision-making and motive-based trust) are critical in predicting public-police cooperation, however the variables of instrumental legitimacy (e.g. police performance) also play an important role (Hinds & Murphy, 2007;Murphy, et al, 2008;Reisig & Lloyd, 2009;Reisig, et al, 2013;Tankebe, 2008).…”

This study examines the high levels of public unwillingness to assist police in criminal investigations in Russia. Variables of public trust of police, fear of crime, victimization, and prior contact with police are used to explain this phenomenon. Also included in the study are variables of police fear and avoidance of police. The findings suggest that higher levels of distrust in, as well as fear and avoidance of police are strong predictors of citizens' unwillingness to assist police in Russia. The paper discusses potential implications of these findings for the 2011 police reform in Russia.

“…Fagan and Davies (2000) note poverty and crime tend to reside in geographic pockets where minorities are disproportionately represented and these are the areas were police misconduct are most likely to occur. In high crime areas where police are seen as either underfunded, lacking proper resources, or lacking legitimacy mistrust of the police is reported at increased rates (Gau & Bruson, 2010;Murphy, Hinds, & Fleming, 2008;Brunson, 2007).…”

As the saying goes, "Perception is reality". To many minorities, the police are prejudiced toward people of color and unconcerned about providing services to their communities. From the police's perception minority neighborhoods are ambivalent and non-supportive of police efforts to combat crime in their community. As police community-relations have appeared to decline over the past years and tensions have exacerbated between the two; which perception is more accurate? Perhaps there is more than one answer with both sides needing to form a partnership and find ways to collaborate on strategies for a changing society. Negative perceptions threaten police and community relations and impact efforts to work together. Understanding both the cultural and ethnic differences of a community as well as the importance of discussing the implementation of crime control strategies are all elements, which can help change these negative perceptions. Police realize they alone cannot control crime and must truly enlist the aid of minority communities in this endeavor. As our society changes one thing is for certain, there are more questions than answers and we have to find a way to work together in order to be able to successfully meet the challenges that lie ahead. This literature review was conducted from two different perspectives-the perception of police and the community and the perceptions of community and the police.
