Abstract :

 Police executives today generally agree that public support is important both for the legality of the police and the ability of the police to fight crime successfully. While research shows people generally support the police and are satisfied with the way police perform their duties, it also demonstrates that not all segments of society hold equally positive opinions. With this intention this study was conducted to assess the perception of police performance in the Karnataka and its two neighbor states. Eight hundred participants completed a demographics questionnaire and Perceptions of Police performance Scale included eleven statements that measure an individual’s attitudes toward police. Stratified random sampling was used and the descriptive and inferential statistics were applied for the results of the public opinion. The result of finding indicated that there was no significant difference between states in the public perception of police performance in the community.
