I read your paper with interest and it does what it says on the tin. It meets the objectives set in relation to determining approval ratings. It would be enhanced if it was grounded more in the academic literature with references relating to community policing and policing legitimacy. I do not know how many open questions were asked about the details of why the respondents gave good approval ratings or poor ratings. However, it would have been good to do more qualitative analysis on such comments to draw out what works, what could be done to maintain the good approval ratings and what else can be done to improve policing. It would also identify whether more open questions should be asked in future research, to draw out more detailed qualitative evidence to enable problem solving and developing further strategies to improve community policing and community safety. All the best, Dr Richard Severns (UK associate lecturer and former police detective).
