| Abstract: | Purpose:
Based on past studies and cognitions about legitimacy and related concepts, the paper presents law students’ perceptions of trust in police and policing in Serbia and Slovenia, analysing data from a web survey conducted in autumn 2012 and spring 2013.
Design/Methods/Approach:
We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a web survey conducted by Meško and colleagues in 2013 in Serbia and Slovenia using descriptive and multivariate statistical methods (factor analysis, t-test and regression analysis).
Findings:
The findings indicate that the law students generally question their willingness to comply with laws and cooperate with the police. The results reveal a slightly more positive perception of police legitimacy and its correlates by the Slovenian law students than their Serbian counterparts. Similar, police authority, trust in police, procedural justice and police effectiveness are more positively perceived in Slovenia.
Research Limitations / Implications:
The results provide insights into trust in the police held by potential future professionals in the (criminal) justice system in Serbia and Slovenia, also revealing differences between the two countries.
Practical Implications:
The police should primarily strive to improve their effectiveness, authority and procedural justice to improve the trust in and legitimacy of policing in the respective country.
Originality/Value:
The article presents a very good starting point for a further analysis of law students’ attitude to the police in Serbia and Slovenia. In the conclusion, the authors discuss possible solutions for improving the relationship between the police and law students. |
