Policing Insight - Subscription at source 16/12/2024 Analysis, Feature Residential types, neighborhood security and public trust in Ghana police service: a comprehensive analysis Purpose: This study investigates the impact of residential type and neighborhood security on public trust in the police in Ghana, while controlling for demographic factors and police-related variables.Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected during the ninth round of the Afro-Barometer survey conducted in Ghana between 2019 and 2021 with a sample size of 2,369 participants. The study employed binary logistic regression analysis to examine the relationship between the independent variables (residential type and neighborhood security) and the dependent variable (trust in the police).: Findings: The results indicate that living in traditional housing is associated with lower levels of trust in the police compared with other residential types. Unexpectedly, neighborhood security did not emerge as a statistically significant predictor of police trust. However, police corruption and the use of force were negatively associated with trust, whereas police professionalism positively predicted trust. Interestingly, unnecessary police stops were positively associated with trust, possibly reflecting a complex relationship between police visibility and public perceptions. This study also revealed ethnic and regional variations in police trust, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive policing approaches. Originality/value: This study stands out in three key aspects. First, it represents one of the first attempts to examine how residential type and neighborhood security influence public trust in law enforcement agencies in Ghana. Second, this study is among the few to investigate the relationship between neighborhood conditions and trust in police using a sample that is representative of the entire nation. Finally, these findings contribute to the understanding of the multifaceted nature of public trust in the police within the Ghanaian context and offer insights for policymakers and law enforcement agencies to enhance police-community relations.

Policing Insight 16/12/2024 Advertisement, Feature “Never let a good crisis go to waste”: the effects of unanticipated police reform during the COVID-19 pandemic on perceived community willingness to obey the law and cooperate with the police This study explores the effects of the COVID-19-driven reform in reactive activities (i.e. in-person handling of calls, arrests for minor crimes) and proactive activities (i.e. in-person community policing and problem-solving activities) on the perceived community willingness to obey the law and cooperate with the police. We use a 2021 in-person survey of 600 police officers from China and 613 police officers from Taiwan and employ confirmatory factor analysis to estimate the endogenous measures of procedural justice and public compliance and cooperation. We find that, for reactive activities, although reductions in the in-person handling of calls and arrests for minor crimes do not shape perceived levels of procedural justice, they have direct correlations with increased perceived community compliance/cooperation. The indirect effects show that a decrease in the in-person handling of calls has a total, positive effect on cooperation, and this effect is all through improved procedural justice. Meanwhile, a reduction in the number of arrests for minor crimes does not exert a total or indirect effect on cooperation. For proactive activities, a reduction in community policing and problem-solving activities does not influence perceived public compliance/cooperation directly. However, it exerts a positive, both total and indirect, effect on compliance/cooperation.
