About the article:
Prior research examining people's perceptions of School Resource Officer (SRO) programs
has focused on the views of four stakeholder groups: school administrators, teachers,
parents, and students. Notably, however, no prior studies have assessed the views
of the general public, and few have utilized multivariate analyses in order to identify
the factors that shape perceptions of SRO initiatives. Using community survey data
collected in Anchorage, Alaska this study explores the general public's awareness
of, perceived need for, and belief in the effectiveness of SRO programs, and systematically
examines factors that predict public support for them within a multivariate framework.
Results show that public support for SRO programs is multidimensional and "fuzzy."
Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.鈥��
