P-07 Exposure to Video Media and Its Effects on Attitudes Towards Law Enforcement
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine how exposure to video media (specifically media geared toward a social media platform) depicting either negative or positive police interactions with individuals will influence perception of law enforcement officials. This will be measured using a modified version of the Building a Relationship of Trust Community Perception Survey. ANOVA results are expected to show a main effect for both the negative and positive police interaction video in regards to attitudes towards law enforcement. This would suggest that negative interaction videos have a greater effect on attitudes towards law enforcement.
