“…Thus, the same officer can be assigned to rural or urban areas, but also to tasks of domestic violence reports or countering armed groups. The duality in the military and civic duties contrasts with the predominant military training, which may create tolerance toward human rights violations and reinforces the lack of public trust that hinders collective action between officers and citizens (Le ón, 2019;Jímenez & Turizo, 2011).…”

The increasing lack of trust in the police around the globe reduces their indirect benefits, related to citizens' feelings of safety and beliefs that the police are "doing something'' to fight crime. We explore whether this generalized lack of trust among citizens correlates with their beliefs' accuracy regarding fairness norm enforcement in a lab-in-the-field experiment conducted with future police officers. Two hundred nine police students played a dictator-like game with costly third-party reallocation. Participants acting as a third party could use one-fourth of their endowment to either decrease (i.e., sanction) or increase (i.e., reward) the highest payoff among the two other players, the initial allocator and the transfer's recipient. We randomized whether a police student or a civilian was the recipient. Police students transfer roughly 40% of their endowment, regardless of the recipient's identity. They are likely to incur costly reallocations between 55 and 75 percent of the time, especially when initial allocations are more inegalitarian and the recipient is also a police student. Moreover, when police students interact only with in-group members, they are more likely to reward, whereas they are more likely to sanction if the transfer's recipient is a civilian. The subsequent prediction survey, conducted with over 200 civilians, reveals that respondents expected some in-group favoritism in the transfer and in the likelihood to reward. Although the probability of sanctioning was high, respondents overestimated the likelihood that police students engage in costly sanctions. Incentives and reporting a higher trust in the police are correlated with higher predictive accuracy.

To "unfuck" is to correct a situation, or yourself, if necessary, and in a timely manner. There is an enduring need to audit and deconstruct the colonial features of criminological theory and criminal justice practices. To better understand these enduring colonial inheritances, this article offers a forward-looking prospectus on the merits of a Latino criminology and highlights the shared historical and conceptual overlaps between critical criminology and Latino Studies in studying interpersonal harms, racialized social control, and state violence. Compatible with both orthodox and progressive perspectives in criminology and criminal justice scholarship, an emergent and politically reflexive Latino criminology centers the margins by articulating areas of intervention for scholars to improve criminological inquiry and depart-or unfuck ourselves-from the many settler colonial and white supremacist inheritances of our field.

This study analyzes the direct effect of service quality and level of confidence on performance and the direct influence of service quality, level of confidence, performance, and Letter of Notification of Progress of Investigation Results (SP2HP) on community satisfaction. Next, we examine the indirect influence of service quality and level of confidence on community satisfaction through performance mediation. Next, we examine the moderating effect of SP2HP on the relationship between performance and community satisfaction. This study uses primary data from the perceptions of 214 respondents. It then analyzes the data using confirmation factor analysis through a structural equation model (SEM) with PLS and support from SmartPLS software. The findings of this study support the argument that service quality has a positive and significant direct effect on performance and community satisfaction. The confidence level has a positive and significant direct effect on performance but not on community satisfaction. Performance and SP2HP have partially positive and significant effects on community satisfaction. While the indirect effect shows that service quality affects community satisfaction through mediating performance, the level of confidence does not significantly affect community satisfaction through mediating performance. SP2HP does not moderate the relationship between performance and community satisfaction.
