This study contributes to fill gaps in the literature by examining a wide range of correlates of police legitimacy. Using data from the Spanish sample (N = 1,885) of the European Social Survey (ESS) Round 5, we estimate multivariate regression models with two measures of police legitimacy as outcome variables: moral alignment (α = .81) and duty to obey the police (α = .86). Correlates encompass a range of attitudinal measures, including those related to police activity, the sociopolitical and institutional context, and personal characteristics of the respondents. The results show that, in Spain, as in other countries, police legitimacy is primarily influenced by perceptions of procedural fairness and effectiveness. In addition, the study found that variables such as political orientation and attitudes towards the sociopolitical context are also relevant. These findings suggest that people’s views of the police are linked to broader social and political factors, beyond their interactions with the police.

Radio Exe 4/3/2023 News Using Biological Motion to Investigate Perceptual–Cognitive Expertise in Law Enforcement Use-of-Force Decisions Research focused on police officers’ decision-making in ambiguous use-of-force situations has yet to investigate the role that a suspect’s biological motion plays in unknown-object identification. The current study uses point-light displays to isolate the suspect’s motion and remove potentially biasing information (e.g., skin tone, facial expression, clothing). Experienced law enforcement officers and trainees (n = 129) watched point-light display videos of an actor pulling either a weapon or a non-weapon from a concealed location in a threatening or non-threatening manner. After each video ended, participants indicated whether the object—which was not visible—was a weapon or a non-weapon. Results indicated that the speed and intent (e.g., threatening vs. non-threatening) with which the actor drew the object were significant predictors of officers’ responses. Officers’ law enforcement experience (i.e., years of service) was not a significant predictor of their response. This study has important implications for understanding why police sometimes make critical and costly errors in ambiguous use-of-force situations. We consider implications for police performance and developing improved training procedures.
