Annotated Bibliography- Police Brutality

In this comprehensive study, the authors try to identify gaps in the existing literature on police violence (PV) by inspecting psychological and neglect, bodily, and sexual violence committed by the police. Using information from the 2017 Survey of Police–Public Encounters, the examiner analyzes the relationships between different types of PV and public perceptions of police trust, effectiveness, legitimacy, and overall performance. The findings reveal significant and inverse associations between most types of PV and positive police perceptions. Demographic factors, which include age, gender, education, income, race/ethnicity, and nativity, further influence these perceptions. The authors argue that their study contributes valuable insights into how particular kinds of PV exposure shape diverse demographic groups' perspectives on the police.
