Abstract

American police have broadly failed to gain public trust, which is essential to their success in protecting communities. By contrast, Japanese police excel at maintaining public trust and cooperation. Drawing on the success of the Japanese, this Note examines the shortcomings of American policing and recommends reforms for the future.
