泰勒的基于过程的警务模式表明，当警察以程序公正的方式行使权力时，他们可以提高他们在公众眼中的合法性和可信度。迄今为止，大多数基于程序的研究都集中在合法性的来源，而在很大程度上忽视了对警察的信任。本研究通过考察警察信任的来源来扩展这一文献。特别是，新兴的研究表明，邻里环境影响对警察的态度，但很少有人注意到探索的作用，个人的看法，他们的邻里发挥在塑造这样的评价。因此，本研究考虑是否个人的集体效能感作为一个社会心理认知取向，影响对警察的信任水平。使用最近进行的邮件调查的随机样本的1,681个居民从一个大都市的数据，我们发现，程序正义的评估是在警察的信任的主要来源。然而，与此同时，即使在考虑程序正义之后，集体效能感水平与信任呈正相关。研究结果表明，警察程序的公平性是至关重要的，以建立公众的信任，但人们对他们的邻里环境的认知取向部分形状的信任程度，他们提供给警察。
Tyler’s process-based model of policing suggests that the police can enhance their perceived legitimacy and trustworthiness in the eyes of the public when they exercise their authority in a procedurally fair manner. To date, most process-based research has focused on the sources of legitimacy while largely overlooking trust in the police. The present study extends this line of literature by examining the sources of trust in the police. In particular, emerging research has revealed that neighborhood context influences attitudes toward the police but much less attention has been given to exploring the role individuals’ perceptions of their neighborhood play in shaping such evaluations. Therefore, the present study considers whether individuals’ perceptions of collective efficacy serve as a social-psychological cognitive orientation that influences levels of trust in the police. Using data from a recently conducted mail survey of a random sample of 1,681 residents from a metropolitan city, we find that procedural justice evaluations are a primary source of trust in the police. At the same time, however, level of perceived collective efficacy is positively associated with trust even after accounting for procedural justice. The findings suggest that police procedural fairness is vitally important to establishing trust from the public but peoples’ cognitive orientation toward their neighborhood context partially shapes the level of trustworthiness they afford to the police.
