美国正处于一场关于警察政策的非同寻常的公开辩论之中。 “冲突的保守派”，象征性的保守派，但操作上的自由派，可能对政策制定产生不成比例的影响。具体来说，有冲突的保守派可能更有可能跨党派投票，因为他们更多地关注对社会状况和政府绩效的功利主义担忧，而不是象征性问题。然而，之前的犯罪学研究通常将保守派视为同质群体。我们使用综合社会调查的数据来探讨冲突的保守派和其他政治团体中对警察使用武力的全球和情境支持的程度和相关性。用两个分析样本（N = 11,119 和 2,069）估计的逻辑回归模型的结果表明，冲突的保守派对警察使用武力的态度不同于“一贯的保守派”，后者在象征上和操作上都是保守的，但并不反映对象征信仰的功利主义关注的独特考虑。另外还有另外两个值得注意的发现：1）种族态度预示着各个政治团体都会支持警察过度使用武力；2）在二十一世纪的第一个十年中，公众对过度使用武力的支持大幅增加，这与一般惩罚情绪的趋势形成鲜明对比。
America is in the midst of an extraordinary public debate about police policy. “Conflicted conservatives,” who are symbolically conservative but operationally liberal, may have a disproportionate influence on policy making. Specifically, conflicted conservatives may be more likely to vote across party lines because they attend more to utilitarian concerns about social conditions and government performance than to symbolic issues. Prior criminological research, however, typically has treated conservatives as a homogenous group. We use data from the General Social Survey to explore the extent and correlates of global and situational support for police use of force among conflicted conservatives and other political groups. The findings from logistic regression models estimated with two analytic samples (N = 11,119 and 2,069) indicate that conflicted conservatives’ attitudes about police use of force are distinct from those of “consistent conservatives” who are both symbolically and operationally conservative, but do not reflect a unique consideration of utilitarian concerns over symbolic beliefs. Two other notable findings emerged: 1) Racial attitudes predicted support for police use of excessive force invariably across political groups and 2) public support for excessive force increased substantially during the first decade of the twenty-first century, sharply contrasting trends in general punitive sentiment.
