Jesilow et al. (1995) corroborated this view with the observation that positive, voluntary police-citizen encounters tend to augment citizens satisfaction with police officers. He added that people who had been arrested or received citation from the police reported “more negative comments about the police than did respondents who had no contact” (Jesilow et al., 1995, p. 80). Similarly, Cox and White (1988) noted that college students who had received traffic citations distrusted the police. They, however, alluded to the fact that it is not the citation, but the perceptions of inappropriate police behavior during the encounter that influences the negative attitudes.
