Abstract: | Research shows that the police subculture can be characterized by a distinct set of values and beliefs. Much of the police
subculture research has focused on common characteristics and values found among a sample of police officers. Fewer studies
have considered how the police, as a group, are similar to citizens. In this study, attention is given to similarities and
differences in how the police and the public perceive the Miranda warnings. Attention is also given to whether type of neighborhood (low crime versus high crime) is related to attitudes about
the Miranda warnings. Findings suggest that while the warnings are perceived in different ways there are similarities that could bridge
the gap between the police and public. Implications are suggested. |
