But a better model for examining the public perception of police would be through "neighborhood assessments" the authors assert. An example of this is a study the authors allude to which shows youth in Philadelphia's Village-Northton district view "downtown police" as "distant, impersonal, and often actively looking for trouble"; but local police in their neighborhood are seen as friendly, working for peaceful resolutions, taking time to get to know the names of kids and "spending time in the area." Therein lies the possible answer to the public's mistrust of police; keep patrols in certain neighborhoods consistent, make residents comfortable with the same faces on the beat, get to know folks and be sensitive to diversity.
