BBC 8/6/2022 News Broken Windows and Order-Maintenance Policing in Gentrifying Washington, DC The “broken windows” hypothesis has led to millions of citizen/police encounters through aggressive enforcement of minor infractions. Despite extensive research on the relationship between broken windows and crime, there is less research on whether police officers focus on areas with broken windows, and the few studies that exist have mixed findings. Another set of studies finds high levels of policing in gentrifying neighbourhoods. On the one hand, then, studies show there is more policing in neighbourhoods with visible signs of disorder as police departments that adhere to the tenets of broken windows policing would be likely to send officers to patrol areas with broken windows, litter, and unkempt lawns in an effort to prevent crime in these areas. On the other hand, as high-income people move into these neighbourhoods, the signs of disorder should dissipate. Policing and Society - Registration at source 8/6/2022 Research article Advancing Our Understanding of Immigrants’ Trust in Police: the Role of Ethnicity, Immigrant Generational Status and Measurement Studies of immigrant populations point to numerous immigrant-specific factors that may explain their level of trust in police. Yet research on immigrants’ trust in police remains sparse, and available studies present contradictory findings. Some studies find that immigrants are more trusting of police than non-immigrants, while other studies find immigrants are less trusting of police. We argue that these contradictions can be explained by three factors: (1) how trust is measured; (2) immigrants’ ethnic group (e.g. minority vs non-minority); and (3) immigrants’ generational status (i.e. 1st vs. 2nd generation immigrant). To address these contradictions, we draw on survey data from 903 immigrants living in Sydney, Australia. We examine the relationship between ethnicity, immigrant generational status and various measures of trust in police. We find when trust is measured as an overarching orientation, minority immigrants tend to distrust police more than non-minority immigrants, and that 2nd generation immigrants are more distrusting than 1st generation immigrants. However, these findings vary when measuring trust multi-dimensionally and when accounting for the interaction between ethnicity and generational status. Implications for immigrant research and police practice are discussed. Policing and Society - Registration at source 8/6/2022 Research article Has lowering the NZ drinking age caused more crime?
