Nextdoor use and support for aggressive policing

This study developed and tested a model interrelating Nextdoor use and support for aggressive policing. The results of an online survey ( n =1806) suggested that Nextdoor use is positively associated with crime concern; that crime concern is positively associated with support for aggressive policing; and that Nextdoor use is both indirectly and directly associated with support for aggressive policing. The results also indicated that social trust may play a complex role in the relationship between Nextdoor use and support for aggressive policing.
