Summary:
This article observes the different approaches, of which how the perceptions about police have
helped in enforcing common law. The perception of police does not only exist to eradicate
challenging crimes impact in society like kidnapping, murder and so on. Police can play a
critical role in general law enforcement or streamlining a society for it to be law abiding.
During the pandemic, the police in the UK played a critical role to ensure that the social
distancing norms and other pandemic related norms were duly followed. In this regard, this
esearch raises an important question regarding the boundaries of using policing mandate in
the lives of people. The research highlights that during the emergency period of the pandemic,
the public willingness to abide by rules and regulations becomes a sensitive issue. Hence the
law enforcement officials cannot ensure that the people violating law are identified and
punished. This is the reason why the police exist. The research introduces the concept of
policing with consent, which highlights the use of the police with public support for an
enforcement of law in a society is for common good.
Value: »
The essay deals with the topic of perception of police for law enforcement. It automatically
questions the boundaries of policing, in relation to the kind of law enforcement actions which
are being implemented. However, the article used has exhibited that the instances of law
enforcement are not always very straightforward and typical. This is the reason why the
perception of policing for streamlining societal behaviour during events like the pandemic, can
e a good approach of using the police for law enforcement.

Summary:
The article examines the concept of trust and how crucial it is to law enforcement. It looks at
important ideas related to trust and how crucial it is for law enforcement. Public encounters
with law enforcement are frequently riddled with uncertainty, danger, and vulnerability. The
operational environment of law enforcement is inherently complicated and uncertain, due to
the combination of elements that are known to produce crime, unforeseen events that police
must respond to, and the vulnerability of people who seek police assistance. The idea of
legitimacy is occasionally used to define how trust, cooperation, and compliance are related in
larger academic literature. Additionally, research indicates that cooperation and trust are more
positively co
elated than compliance. Rather than obedience, trust may be more likely to foste
or undermine cooperation.
Value:
This article provides useful essay material in several ways. People who live in Black
communities often perceive law enforcement as being unjust, illegitimate, and ineffectual.
Previous studies have connected these views to varying perspectives on cooperating with law
enforcement. Naturally, public suspicion and views of illegitimacy result in a lack of
cooperation with law Roforcement, which can be detrimental to both the public and law
enforcement. When compared to other homicide cases, it was discovered, for instance, that a
lack of public involvement with police, hampered investigations into gang and drug-related
homicides and eventually impacted case clearance rates. Similar results were observed by othe
esearchers. Improving policing outcomes thus requires an understanding of elements related
to perceptions of police, particularly attitudes towards collaboration and legitimacy.
