- Abstract
The article explores factors associated with varying confidence in the police by Indigenous people in Canada. Through a comparative approach, it also examines the prominence of these factors with non-Indigenous people. To do so, the study used the 2014 General Social Survey data. Results suggest that confidence in the police by Indigenous people is linked not only to their perceptions of crime, but also their perceptions of the status of social relationships within their community. More importantly, this confidence could be linked to their perception of the equal treatment of citizens by the police. Results also suggest the prominence of the factors with non-Indigenous people. Thus, police practices should not be limited to repressing crime, but should also seek to ensure the well-being of communities in a larger sense and to promote the perception of the equal treatment of citizens. However, these practices seem to be perceived by Indigenous people as being particularly deficient. This would, in part, explain why their level of confidence in the police is weaker than the non-Indigenous people's confidence.
