Women and Criminal Justice 11/8/2025 Research article Trust in the police in Iceland: Key influences and group differences Trust in public institutions, particularly the police, is essential for effective governance and social order. This study investigates the factors influencing trust in the police in Iceland, focusing on perceived police effectiveness, experiences of police contact, and demographic variables such as age, gender, socioeconomic status, and residential location. Using data from victimization surveys conducted between 2016 and 2024, we find that trust in the police is generally high but varies significantly across demographic groups. Older individuals and females report higher trust levels compared to younger individuals and males. Trust in the police increases with age more steeply for females than for males. Perceived police effectiveness, including visibility, accessibility, and performance, strongly correlates with trust. Positive experiences with police contact enhance trust, while negative experiences diminish it. Demographic factors influence trust independently of perceived police effectiveness and police contact. These findings suggest that improving police effectiveness and the quality of police-public interactions can enhance trust. Understanding demographic differences in trust can help tailor policing strategies to address the specific needs of different groups, contributing to a more just and effective policing system in Iceland.
