Stuff (New Zealand) 9/5/2022 Feature, Opinion, Video Institutions, Political Attitudes Or Personal Values? A Multilevel Investigation Into the Origins of Police Legitimacy in Europe The extent to which democratic regimes warrant the rule of law is considered to be vital for the quality of democracy. Thus, the perceived trustworthiness of the police, as the executive agency of the legal system, is attributed a significant importance. Notwithstanding, the bulk of empirical studies concerned with political support has so far not focused on trust in the police in its own right but rather as an ingredient of political trust which encompasses trust in representative and impartial institutions alike. By contrast, empirical studies in the field of police research investigate the impact of personal encounters with the police and the hereby conveyed sense of fairness. In a multilevel analytical setting, this study draws on the ESS 2010 data and aims to trace the effects of political attitudes, personality traits and personal values on various indicators of police legitimacy and by simultaneously taking selected macro-level indicators and their cross-level effects into account. The findings suggest that attitudes towards the police are, in part, a function of whether citizens are politically involved or rather alienated. Moreover, they corroborate the negative effects of personal encounters with the police. Yet, the extent to which these effects are detrimental also depends on the contextual setting. In countries where social trust is high and the rule of law abounds, personal contacts hardly leaves a negative trace. As a consequence, policies that aim to enhance police legitimacy may be less fruitful if its interplay with the larger political and societal context is overlooked. Policing and Society 9/5/2022 Research article Police Worker Politics in India, Brasil, and Beyond This article conceives a new conceptual framework of ‘police worker politics’ (PWP) as a means to inspire critical research on how the political significance and legitimacy of police configure concepts and practices of democratic governance. Drawing on anthropological theories and methodologies of disjunctive comparison, I consider public policing as work, and figure public police officials as political actors who mobilise around their identities as workers in ways that may be more or less legitimate in the eyes of the governments and the publics they serve. I focus on two major forms of PWP—police unionism and police strikes—and analyze how they have manifested historically in two of the world’s most populous and pluralistic democratic states: India and Brazil. Comparing institutional structures and specific events of PWP in these two Global South postcolonies, I aim 1) to better understand how police worker politics and their legitimacy are co-configured with processes of decolonisation and democratisation; 2) to energise more theoretically nuanced and empirically grounded debates on police worker politics as an understudied global form ripe for comparative research, and 3) to generate and contribute to collaborative inquiries in the emerging field of comparative policing studies generally.
