Description
In the wake of nationwide demonstrations for racial justice prompted by the murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and countless other Black individuals, Los Angeles has become a focal point for critical discussions around police and community relations.
StudyLA's Police and Community Relations Survey is a multi-year study that captures public opinion on issues of policing in the city of Los Angeles. Respondents are asked several questions that touch on the mission of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD): safeguard the lives and property of the people the LAPD serves; reduce the incidence and fear of crime; and enhance public safety while working with the diverse communities to improve quality of life. Several questions are asked from year to year to capture trends over time, and new questions are added every year to include current events and other emerging topics in the public discourse. This is the third survey conducted and the first since the election of Mayor Karen Bass whose campaign team set public safety and crime prevention as priorities for the administration.
