The Effects of Security Threats on Antecedents of Police Legitimacy (2011, methodology): “…ethnic groups (Sunshine and Tyler 2004; Tyler 1994, 2000; Tyler and Huo 2002), surveys of public attitudes toward the police consistently reveal that Whites hold more positive attitudes toward the police than non-Whites (Bowling 1999; Brown and Benedict 2002; Gallagher et al. 2001).”
The Salience of Social Contextual Factors in Appraisals of Police Interactions with Citizens: A Randomized Factorial Experiment (2014, background): “The authors of a recent literature review on police–citizen 123 relations conclude ‘‘there is no consensus as to which combinations of variables explain the greatest variance in attitudes toward the police’’ (Brown and Benedict 2002, p. 564).”
Trust in the Police (2015, background): “Second, research reveals that crime victims tend to have less favorable perceptions of police compared with their counterparts with no victimization exposure (Brown & Benedict, 2002).”

Explaining Majority and Minority Trust in the Police (2013, background): “…African-Americans have a less positive image of the police, and trust in them, than have white Americans (for an overview of the literature, see Brown & Benedict, 2002; Decker, 1981; Schafer, Huebner, & Bynum, 2003; more recent studies are mentioned in Schuck, Rosenbaum, & Hawkins, 2008;…”
Race/ethnicity and perceptions of the police: a comparison of White, Black, Asian and Hispanic Americans (2014, background): “Blacks, the most studied minority group, are frequently found to have less favourable attitudes than Whites (Brown and Benedict 2002).”
Examining Police Effectiveness as a Precursor to Legitimacy and Cooperation with Police (2013, background): “Demographic Effects on Crime Reporting Demographic variables have been associated with perceptions of police, fear of crime, and victimization risk (Bradford, Jackson, & Stanko, 2009; Brown & Benedict, 2002; Weitzer & Tuch, 1999) and so may also influence reporting practices.”

Race and Perceptions of Police Misconduct (2004, background): “While our cross-sectional data do not allow us to preclude such possibilities, virtually all previous work in this area assumes the same temporal ordering that we use—i.e., that attitudes toward the police are endogenous—rather than the reverse (see Brandl et al. 1994; Brown and Benedict 2002).”
Race, Class or Neighborhood Context: Which Matters More in Measuring Satisfaction with Police? (2009, background): “Racial minorities, African Americans in the case of much of the research, are found to be less likely than Whites to display favorable attitudes toward police (see Brown & Benedict, 2002 and Decker, 1981 for a summary of past findings).”
