Procedural Justice and Police Legitimacy: A Test of Measurement and Structure (2013, methodology): “The power of isolated encounters with officers is small compared to that of general attitudes about police that develop over time (see Brandl et al., 1994; Rosenbaum et al., 2005).”
Unpacking Public Attitudes to the Police: Contrasting Perceptions of Misconduct with Traditional Measures of Satisfaction (2008, background): “Taking the lead from emerging evidence that vicarious experiences may impact on public attitudes (Hurst et al., 2000; Rosenbaum et al., 2005; Weitzer & Tuch, 2005), we also examine their role in the New York City data.”
The Convergent and Discriminant Validity of Procedural Justice and Police Legitimacy: An Empirical Test of Core Theoretical Propositions (2011, background): “It is clear from existing research that although people's personal and vicarious experiences with police do affect their overarching attitudes toward this institution of control (Brunson, 2007; Gau & Brunson, 2010), preexisting attitudes about the institution also affect people's perceptions of offi”
The Influence of Race/Ethnicity, Social Class, and Neighborhood Context on Residents' Attitudes Toward the Police (2008, background): “Although research generally supports the importance of vicarious experiences on shaping attitudes toward the police (Rosenbaum et al. 2005; Weitzer & Tuch 2005), there is less known about the influence of vicarious experiences across different types of police-related attitudes (one notable…”
Shaping Citizen Perceptions of Police Legitimacy: A Randomized Field Trial of Procedural Justice (2013, background): “The criminological literature has suggested that preexisting opinions of the police have a lot to do with shaping citizen perceptions of their encounters with police (see Brandl et al., 1994; see also Rosenbaum et al., 2005).”
Race and Perceptions of Police: Experimental Results on the Impact of Procedural (In)Justice (2017, unknown): “However, the perceived legitimacy of the police derives not only from direct contact with the police but also from vicarious contact, much of which occurs through the news media and social media (Augustyn, 2016; Rosenbaum et al., 2005; Weitzer & Brunson, 2009).”
The Salience of Social Contextual Factors in Appraisals of Police Interactions with Citizens: A Randomized Factorial Experiment (2014, background): “Pre-existing opinions of the police strongly shape citizen perceptions of their interactions with the police (Brandl et al. 1994; Rosenbaum et al. 2005).”
Examining macro-level impacts on procedural justice and police legitimacy (2012, background): “The effect of contact-based satisfaction on global attitudes either drops in magnitude (Gau, 2010) or is weak and inconsistent (Brandl et al., 1994; Rosenbaum et al., 2005) when precontact attitudes are controlled for.”
Investigating the Effects of Media Consumption on Attitudes Toward Police Legitimacy (2018, background): “a single media format and frequently receive their news from multiple media formats (American Press Institute 2014; Rosenstiel et al. 2011).”
Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Differences in Perceptions of the Police (2012, background): “In other words, minority citizens who hear about racial profiling practices, even if they themselves do not believe they have been racially profiled, may be more likely to view future experiences with the police skeptically (Rosenbaum et al., 2005).”
