Community Policing, Citizen Feedback, and Public Trust

This project extends an ongoing study testing the efficacy of citizen-centric problem-oriented policing, and local alternative dispute resolution and reconciliation forums. The extension will (a) study police officers’ beliefs with respect to reforms to local policing; (b) improve our ability to detect and measure treatment spillovers; (c) collect data for longer than previously planned, in order to detect effects that are slower to move, such as beliefs about the state; and (d) amplify the intensity of the intervention.
