Abstract

Based on an early 2020s survey of 3,500 police officers from nine countries, this paper explores perceived community and police adherence to the COVID-19 regulations. We propose that both public and police perceived adherence with the COVID-19 rules are related not only to individual-level factors (e.g., gender, concern for own health) but also to country-level factors (e.g., quality of governance, protection of citizens' rights). Our findings reveal that individual-level factors, such as the concerns for personal and family health, were strong and consistent predictors of perceived community and police adherence. While misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with the perceived community adherence, it was not related to the perceived police adherence. Moreover, country-level factors, such as the stringency of COVID-19 rules and regulations and the protection of citizens' rights, were also significantly related to both perceived community and police adherence.

感知社区和警察遵守COVID-19法规的比较探索。

本文基于20世纪20年代初对9个国家3500名警察的调查，探讨了社区和警察对COVID-19法规的遵守情况。我们认为，公众和警察认为遵守COVID-19规则不仅与个人层面的因素（例如，性别、对自身健康的关注）有关，而且与国家层面的因素（例如，治理质量、公民权利保护）有关。我们的研究结果表明，个人层面的因素，如对个人和家庭健康的关注，是感知社区和警察依从性的强大和一致的预测因素。虽然关于COVID-19大流行的错误信息与感知到的社区依从性有关，但与感知到的警察依从性无关。此外，国家层面的因素，如COVID-19法规的严格程度和对公民权利的保护，也与社区和警察的遵守程度显著相关。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Press/Politics is an interdisciplinary journal for the analysis and discussion of the role of the press and politics in a globalized world. The Journal is interested in theoretical and empirical research on the linkages between the news media and political processes and actors. Special attention is given to the following subjects: the press and political institutions (e.g. the state, government, political parties, social movements, unions, interest groups, business), the politics of media coverage of social and cultural issues (e.g. race, language, health, environment, gender, nationhood, migration, labor), the dynamics and effects of political communication.
