Rebuilding and bridging the gap of police trust and confidence in ethnic communities

McKue, Mike

Abstract

Public confidence and community trust in the police has now become a subject of both government and criminological attention. If trust is at the heart of policing and it will clearly lead to a better working relationship which in turn leads to an increase and inclination on reporting crime to police. The national perspective on Policing is not helped by how ethnic communities are policed in general.

Murphy and Cherney (2011) explored the issue that both ethnic and racial minorities are often more distrusting towards the police, the purpose of this research is to discover why this is happening and at what stage are ethnic or racial minorities actually losing that trust.
