Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes police and public reactions to an intergroup-communication intervention developed and tested in Santa Barbara, California. We discuss the theory underlying the development of the intervention as well as its implementation as a means of improving relationships between police officers and members of the Hispanic community. Based on thematic analysis of interviews with program participants, we provide qualitative evidence about police and public reactions to the intervention. The data presented herein indicate that the intervention improved empathy and trust between participants from both groups. These results suggest that interventions based on principles of intergroup communication could be a useful mechanism for improving relationships between police and historically marginalized communities. They also provide a promising framework for research on how police can translate research into practice in the area of community trust-building with groups reluctant to engage with police. Future research should begin testing the effectiveness of these types of interventions using experimental or quasi-experimental methods.

体验声音:警察和公众对群体间沟通干预的反应

本文分析了警察和公众对在加州圣巴巴拉开发和测试的群体间沟通干预的反应。我们讨论了干预发展的理论基础，以及作为改善警察和西班牙裔社区成员之间关系的一种手段的实施。基于对项目参与者访谈的专题分析，我们提供了关于警察和公众对干预反应的定性证据。本研究的数据表明，干预提高了两组参与者之间的共情和信任。这些结果表明，基于群体间沟通原则的干预措施可能是改善警察与历史上边缘化社区之间关系的有用机制。它们还为研究警察如何将研究成果转化为与不愿与警察接触的群体建立社区信任领域的实践提供了一个有希望的框架。未来的研究应该开始使用实验或准实验方法测试这些类型的干预措施的有效性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
