The consent decree process, however, carries a significant fiscal burden; in some cases, the cost of police reform inhibits agencies’ cooperation with the decrees. One possible solution to this problem calls for the creation of a public-supported police reform fund, whose monies are reserved strictly for consent decrees. Guided by focal concerns theory, this study reports on a factorial survey experiment used to assess variation across individuals’ willingness to pay for police reform. Results indicate that the seriousness of a police reform issue and the agency’s ability to pay for reform act as significant drivers of endorsement of a police reform fund.

LBC 19/1/2021 News Trust in Police: An Exploratory Study Among Hispanic College Students Trust in police is crucial for optimal police performance. Accordingly, much scholarly attention has focused on examining correlates of trust in police in the U.S., particularly with respect to racial and ethnic minorities. While often considered to have less trust in police than other citizens, trust in police is a multi-faceted metric, and this study examines several aspects that interact with it among a Hispanic population. The dimensions that influence trust in police examined here include assimilation, perceptions of procedural justice, and neighborhood factors such as disorder and community engagement. This research studied a sample of 732 mostly Hispanic college students located in a mid-size border city in southern Texas to examine the impact of assimilation on their trust in police as indicated by their willingness to call the police.
