摘要
Many American police departments are establishing citizen police academies (CPAs). The goal is to develop a police-community relationship by providing citizens with exposure to police operations and procedures. One aspect of this goal is to improve the attitudes of citizens towards the police. In this exploratory study, pre- and posttest designs were employed to examine the impact of a CPA on the attitudes of participants. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
