In an online survey about experiences with the police complaint system, 239 client advocates described a recent incident in which a client with grounds to lodge a complaint declined to do so. Almost one third of those incidents involved domestic violence. Thematic analysis of case descriptions revealed that many police did not take domestic violence reports seriously. A typology of problematic police conduct was developed. Many officers failed to observe current procedures and appeared to lack knowledge of relevant laws. Citizens feared retaliatory victimization by police and/or perceived that complaining was futile. Implications of these findings are reviewed in light of procedural justice theory.
在一项关于警察投诉系统体验的在线调查中，239名客户维权人士描述了最近一起事件，即有投诉理由的客户拒绝投诉。其中近三分之一的事件涉及家庭暴力。对案例描述的主题分析显示，许多警察没有认真对待家庭暴力报告。研究人员制定了警察不当行为的类型。许多警察没有遵守现行程序，似乎也缺乏相关法律知识。公民担心会遭到警察的报复性伤害，并且/或者认为投诉是徒劳的。本文根据程序正义理论对这些调查结果的影响进行了审视。
