Abstract

Controversial encounters between racial minorities and law enforcement have led to increased public discourse surrounding race and law enforcement in the United States. A “racial gap” in perceptions of law enforcement exists and appears to be growing. Researchers have not adequately examined how political preference may contribute to diverging views of law enforcement.
