The study of American law enforcement, and the public's perception of police, is a growing area of interest. This book presents the latest research on police militarization, use of force, body-worn cameras, and other practices that may alter the public's view of police legitimacy and procedural justice. The chapters were originally published in a special issue of the Journal of Crime and Justice.

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


The study of American law enforcement and the public's perception of police has garnered increasing attention among academics, practitioners, and policymakers. From the 2014 events in Ferguson, Missouri, and the alleged Ferguson Effect, to the ongoing debate over the impact of body-worn cameras (BWCs), police militarization, use of force, and other practices that may shape public perceptions of police legitimacy and procedural justice, there is a pressing need for research addressing these contemporary issues in American policing.

This book offers the most recent research on these topics, as well as related issues identified in the Presidential Task Force on 21st Century Policing, such as the use of technology by police, transparency, oversight, and community trust-building. The studies included in this book explore these issues by utilizing empirical data on policing, public perceptions, crime, and diverse research methodologies, providing high-quality analysis of these timely and relevant topics in today's world.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Crime and Justice.
