“…Similarly, Hough (2020) differentiates civilians’ trust in officer competence, procedural fairness, fair decision making (outcomes), and non-discrimination. Trust in police has received much research attention over the last few decades (Cao, 2015; Hu et al, 2020; Ruddell & Trott, 2022) because high levels of trust have been associated with civilians’ willingness to cooperate with police and comply with the law (Bolger & Walters, 2019; Worden & McLean, 2017). According to the procedural justice framework, “the quality of police treatment of people and the quality of police decision making” determine whether the public trusts the police (Mazerolle et al, 2014, pp.…”

In the initial phase of COVID-19, Aotearoa New Zealand was internationally praised for its pandemic response that included lockdowns to control the spread and work toward elimination. Community compliance with control measures was thus essential when pursuing elimination as a policy. Using a mixed-methods approach, we sought to explore whether New Zealand Police (NZP) were trusted to police the lockdown rules at Levels 4 and 3. We analyzed 1,020 survey responses comparing trust among respondents who had been stopped by NZP over the lockdown rules (contacts) with those who had not (non-contacts). We found that both contacts and non-contacts expressed greater trust in NZP to enforce the Level 4 than the Level 3 rules; contacts expressed less trust in NZP to enforce the lockdown rules than non-contacts; contacts perceived NZP more heavy-handed than non-contacts; contacts perceived NZP as only somewhat procedurally just and feeling somewhat encouraged to comply with the lockdown rules and; that unexpected high-profile policing-related events during the survey only affected contacts’ trust significantly. We offer two explanations: (1) NZP were perceived as procedurally unjust or inconsistent in applying the lockdown rules, (2) members of the public and NZP learned the lockdown rules simultaneously. We caution that the unfamiliar character of pandemic policing may jeopardize trust in NZP even among segments of the population that typically express high levels of trust in NZP, that is, people of European descent. We conclude that community compliance with pandemic control measures is no matter to be dealt with by the criminal legal system.

Este artículo analiza la capacidad de los programas de policía de proximidad o policía comunitaria para fomentar la confianza en la policía en dos localidades: el municipio de Nezahualcóyotl en el estado de México y el Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México. Para ello se analizan los resultados de una encuesta aplicada a los habitantes de las dos localidades, mediante el desarrollo de un modelo de regresión logística binomial. Los resultados muestran que en ambos casos estas estrategias de proximidad han conseguido un impacto positivo en la confianza de los habitantes, más allá de otros factores individuales y contextuales. No obstante, la eficacia de la policía para prevenir delitos se muestra como el determinante principal de la confianza en ambos casos.
