Abstract

Abstract This study is the first to assess citizen willingness to empower the police in the Caribbean. The study examines the relative impacts of normative and instrumental models of policing on willingness to empower the police in a sample of Jamaican citizens. Using data from a survey of Jamaican citizens, procedural justice and educational level predicted police empowerment; obligation to obey, age, sex, police effectiveness, and risk of sanctioning did not. The study’s findings point to the importance of the process-based model of policing in different geopolitical contexts. Specifically, the study addresses why procedural justice, a normative model, may engender willingness to empower the police in this group of Jamaican citizens. This finding is important because normative models generally exert a stronger influence than instrumental models in advanced democracies, whereas the opposite is the case in emerging democracies and postcolonial societies, such as Jamaica. The implications for policing, policy, and future research are discussed.

警务的规范性和工具性因素对警察授权意愿的相对影响:来自牙买加的研究
本研究首次评估了加勒比地区公民赋予警察权力的意愿。该研究考察了在牙买加公民样本中,规范和工具警务模式对授权警察意愿的相对影响。利用牙买加公民调查的数据,程序正义和教育水平预测警察权力;服从的义务、年龄、性别、警察的效力和受到制裁的风险都没有。该研究的发现指出了在不同地缘政治背景下基于过程的警务模式的重要性。具体来说,该研究探讨了为什么程序正义,一个规范的模式,可能会产生意愿授权警察在这一群体的牙买加公民。这一发现很重要,因为在发达民主国家,规范模型通常比工具模型发挥更大的影响,而在新兴民主国家和后殖民社会,如牙买加,情况正好相反。讨论了对警务、政策和未来研究的影响。
