INTRODUCTION
Definitions regarding defunding or abolishing the police are highly contested in the United States. Moreover, adolescents' definitions and how socialization processes shape their definitions are unclear.
METHODS
Within a national sample of 822 adolescents ages 13-17 (49.69% female; 63.22% White, 16.93% Black/African American, 11.01% Hispanic/Latinx) surveyed in July 2020, this study examined how youth define defunding versus abolishing the police, how much parents talk to youth about the police (i.e., "the Talk"), and whether relations emerged between defunding/abolishing the police and "the Talk."
RESULTS
Youth supported defunding more than abolishing (d = 0.57). Support for abolishing was higher for youth who frequently received "the Talk" (b = 0.25). Differences by race and gender were uncovered in how frequently youth received "the Talk."
CONCLUSIONS
Police must recognize that coercion, fear, and biased policing breed discontent and promote families to engage in protective parenting strategies including engaging in "the Talk."
引言
在美国，关于警察部门经费削减或废除的定义极具争议性。此外，青少年对这些定义的理解以及社会化过程如何影响他们的定义还不清楚。
方法
本研究在 2020 年 7 月对 822 名年龄在 13-17 岁的青少年（49.69%为女性；63.22%为白人，16.93%为黑人/非裔美国人，11.01%为西班牙裔/拉丁裔）进行了全国性调查，研究了青少年如何定义削减警察经费与废除警察部门，以及父母与青少年谈论警察的频率（即“警察谈话”），以及削减/废除警察部门与“警察谈话”之间是否存在关系。
结果
青少年更支持削减警察经费而非废除警察部门（d=0.57）。经常接受“警察谈话”的青少年（b=0.25）对废除警察部门的支持率更高。在青少年接受“警察谈话”的频率方面，种族和性别差异也有所显现。
结论
警察部门必须认识到，强制、恐惧和有偏见的警务方式会滋生不满情绪，并促使家庭采取保护性的育儿策略，包括进行“警察谈话”。
