Police-citizen relations are in the public spotlight following outbursts of anger and violence. Such clashes often happen as a response to fatal police shootings, racial or ethnic discrimination, or the mishandling of mass protests. But even in such cases, citizens\u2019 assessment of the police differs considerably across social groups. This raises the question of the sources and impediments of citizens\u2019 trust and support for police. Why are police-citizen relations much better in some countries than in others? Are police-minority relations doomed to be strained? And which police practices and policing policies generate trust and legitimacy? \nResearch on police legitimacy has been centred on US experiences, and relied on procedural justice as the main theoretical approach.
