Public perceptions of police use of artificial intelligence to assist in generating police reports
In the context of policing, artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLM) tools are being touted for their ability to reduce the amount of time officers spend writing reports while simultaneously improving their accuracy and completeness. Concerns have been raised, however, about bias, privacy, legality, inaccuracies, transparency, and the overall impact of the use of AI when generating police reports on legal proceedings and polic…
The Conditional Impacts of Organizations and Supervisors on the Tension Between Officers and Citizens
Under what organizational conditions are police officers more likely to use lethal force against racial minority suspects in the United States? Using identity and institutional theories, we find that perceived legitimacy is likely to determine how street‐level bureaucrats and managers define their identities and influence the disproportionate killings of minorities in the United States. In sum, we show that bureaucrats, either street‐level White …

When Nuclear Power Feels Close to Home
Projected energy shortages in the United States have intensified interest in nuclear power as a low‐carbon energy source, yet public acceptance remains a persistent challenge. This study employs a pre‐registered survey experiment to examine how local salience (geographic proximity) and risk information shape citizens' perceptions of newly proposed nuclear energy projects. Findings show that both factors independently reduce willingness to support…
Social Media, Citizens’ Distrust in the Government, and Misinformation During a National Crisis
This study tests whether misinformation on social media undermines citizens' capability to perceive the factual public health information provided by the government during the pandemic and whether such misinformation impacts citizens' distrust in the government. The results of the survey experiment indicate that the simple presence of misinformation on a social media platform distorts citizens' perceptions of factual pandemic information, while t…
Community Policing Policies and the Use of Lethal Force
In this research, we examine whether community policing policies (CPPs), community policing training for new recruits or regular community policing training, impact who is killed by a law enforcement officer in terms of the victim's race. We seek to present one of the few empirical studies of evidence on whether community policing has the potential to address racial disparities. Using a unique dataset and multinomial logistic models, we found tha…
