RT Article T1 Police Relations with Arabs and Jews in Israel JF The British journal of criminology VO 47 IS 5 SP 728 OP 745 A1 Ḥasisi, Badi A2 Weitzer, Ronald LA English YR 2007 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1639138390 AB Remarkably little research has been conducted on police relations with citizens in Israel compared with other societies that are deeply divided along ethnic lines. This paper examines the views of Arabs and Jews regarding several key aspects of policing in Israel. The findings indicate, first, that Arabs are consistently more critical of the police than Jews, and these ethnic differences persist net of the influence of other variables. Second, in addition to the role played by ethnicity in explaining public assessments of the police, a number of other variables influence such attitudes. The results are interpreted within the context of the divided society model of policing, which originated in research on other ethnically polarized societies K1 Polizei-Bürger-Verhältnis K1 Israel K1 Ethnizität K1 Einstellungen K1 Polizeiarbeit K1 Bevölkerung
