Sažetak
Prevalent opinion is that youth have more negative perception of the police than older citizens, rooted in their more frequently encountered negative contacts with the police. However, there is a lack of systematic research on differences in attitudes toward police between youth and adults. Thus, this study aims to explore: (1) the similarities and differences in contact with police, police related attitudes (perceived efficacy, fairness and legitimacy) and determinants of police legitimacy regarding age ; (2) the role of social position and vulnerabilities among youth (discrimination experience, NEET status, income and loneliness) in the context of police related attitudes (perceived efficacy, fairness and legitimacy) and contact with police (including quality of contact). This analysis is based on quantitative data gathered from the European social survey Round 5 as part of the EU- funded PROMISE project. Findings are discussed in the context of invariance hypothesis within procedural justice theory as well as group position theory in the context of youth relation to police.
