Prior research links these attitudes with differential orientations toward cooperation with police. The current study used data collected from a representative sample of 522 Pennsylvania residents to measure public perceptions of police. Analyses examined racial differences in perceptions of police and determined whether normative (i.e., perceptions of procedural justice) and/or instrumental (i.e., perceptions of police effectiveness) assessments of police could explain racial differences in anticipated cooperation with law enforcement through perceptions of legitimacy. Findings revealed the presence of a significant indirect relationship between race and perceptions of legitimacy through perceptions of police effectiveness and procedural justice, as well as a significant indirect relationship between race and cooperation through police effectiveness, procedural justice, and legitimacy. Theoretical and practical implications stemming from these findings are discussed within. Criminal Justice Policy Review 20/9/2023 Research article Is there a right number? The fragmentation of interest representation in Portuguese police unions In many countries, the right of police to unionise has still not been achieved or has only recently taken place. After decades of pressure, Portuguese police gained the right to unionise in the 21st century. Following legislation in 2002, several national police unions appeared and, in 2019, they had reached a disproportionate total of 19 unions, while working conditions were deteriorating and a Facebook-organised protest started gaining relevance. Through interviews with every police union and the police administration, complemented by secondary data, we first demonstrate how the 2002 law was a structure of opportunity enabling the proliferation of unions driven by individual motivations. Second, we portray how fragmentation of unions contributed to deadlocked negotiations leading older unions and mass media to demand new legislation. We conclude with the relevance of organisational and institutional processes into the provision of objective, predictable and proportional criteria for union representativeness.
