Title: | Determinants of Ethnic Minority Confidence in the Police | Authors: | VAN CRAEN, Maarten | Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD | Source: | JOURNAL OF ETHNIC AND MIGRATION STUDIES, 38 (7), p. 1029-1047 | Abstract: | In this article I test the contribution which (aspects of) social capital theory, performance theory and the procedural justice-based model can make towards explaining ethnic minorities' confidence in the police. To answer my central question-What determining factors account for minorities' level of confidence in the police?-I conducted regression analysis of quantitative data collected from minority-group members in Belgium via 456 face-to-face interviews. The results suggest that feelings of insecurity and perceptions of discrimination play a large part in accounting for ethnic minorities' confidence (or lack of) in the police. | Notes: | Van Craen, M (reprint author); Hasselt Univ, Ctr Govt & Law, Fac Law, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium. maarten.vancraen@uhasselt.be | Keywords: | Demography; Ethnic Studies; confidence; police; ethnic minorities; social capital; insecurity; discrimination;Confidence; Police; Ethnic Minorities; Social Capital; Insecurity; Discrimination | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/13857 | ISSN: | 1369-183X | e-ISSN: | 1469-9451 | DOI: | 10.1080/1369183X.2012.681447 | ISI #: | 000305758500001 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2013 |
