Abstract

News can have profound effects on public perceptions of the police. The public's views of the police following the widespread case of Sarah Everard have yet to be examined, despite it's link to violence against women and girls. This research explored the impact of this case on public perceptions of the police in the period afterwards. An analysis of 107 social media posts uncovered seven themes showing this case caused extreme fear and anxiety. While some viewed the incident as a "bad apple," most tweets showed distrust toward the police force as a whole, raising repercussions for police-public relationships and reporting decisions.

莎拉·埃弗拉德案如何改变了公众对警察的看法。

新闻可以对公众对警察的看法产生深远的影响。尽管与针对妇女和女孩的暴力行为有关，但公众对警方的看法仍有待调查。本研究探讨了该案件对公众对警察的看法在之后的一段时间的影响。通过对107个社交媒体帖子的分析，发现了7个主题，表明该案件引起了极度的恐惧和焦虑。虽然一些人认为这一事件是“坏苹果”，但大多数推文都表现出对整个警察部队的不信任，这引发了对警民关系和报告决策的影响。
