Punitiveness and authoritarianism of police officers can be relatively stable attitudes that can already appear when individuals choose the police profession in terms of a selection effect. Two effects of institutional socialization are examined. Firstly, the effect of the time already spent at the university within the police sample. Secondly, the effect due to increasing age and work experience. The analyses are based on data from police students with and without prior police work experience (n = 274) and a representative sample of the general population (n = 892). The results indicate that there are hardly any selection effects. The duration of the police studies has a reducing effect on punitiveness and authoritarianism. Police students with prior work experience as police officers are less punitive and authoritarian with increasing age. The cause of this age effect, which is not directly related to work experience, is discussed.

However, as with any new technology, the public is often sceptical about how the police will use this technology and how it may impinge on the public’s privacy and security. Subsequently, if police use of FRT is perceived as illegitimate, police-citizen relationships may deteriorate – this is especially concerning given the current lack of trust and confidence in police as expressed in the Black Lives Matter movement and other protests against police actions. This paper takes a novel approach to examining public opinions and attitudes about the use of FRT by police. To do this, we thematically analysed 609 public commentary posts published on 71 YouTube clips about police use of FRT. We found that the public in this sample expressed mostly negative sentiments about the use of FRT by police, identifying three main concerns: authority and power, technology, rights and freedoms. However, we also found some support for police using FRT. These findings are discussed in terms of the theoretical concept of the new regulatory state; in particular steering (government policy) and rowing (implementation).
