It depends on the perp! Factors that bias the perception of police intervention

Logan Albrecht

There has been widespread attention focused on police aggression, increasing research on how individual perceptions are made. The present study sought to assess factors that influence perceptions of police aggression. Specifically, we were interested in whether race, gender, and type of crime played a role in these perceptions. Results from this study contribute to a better understanding of psychological processes underlying the perception of police interventions, as well as factors that contribute to biased perceptions.
