誰人信任警察？ 回歸後香港和澳門的警察信任水平分析

香港近年警民關係的變化和衝突，成為了國際關注的案例。反觀澳門，儘管回歸前澳門的治安問題十分嚴重，警察公信力較低，然而在回歸後的一系列改革後，澳門市民對警察的認可度有增無減，形成了鮮明對比。本研究基於現實的觀察提出研究問題“在香港和澳門，誰人信任警察？”，通過對第七波世界價值觀調查中香港和澳門警察信任水平的數據進行描述性統計分析，嘗試對兩地的差異進行分析和解釋，結果顯示香港和澳門的警察信任處於較高水平，學歷不高的基層老人、教育水平較高的中上層青年人為香港和澳門的警察信任極值的主要人群，並對未來可研究的方向進行了討論。

In recent years, the changes and conflicts in Hong Kong’s police-community relations have become a cases of international concern. On the other hand, in the neighboring city of Macao, although the problems of public order in Macao were very serious before the post-transition period, the legitimacy of the police was relatively low. After a series of police reforms, the recognition of the police by the Macao people has increased rather than decreased. From a practical perspective, this research aims to examine the research question “Who doesn’t trust the police in Hong Kong and Macao?”, using the data of World Value Survey Wave 7 (2017-2022) through descriptive statistical analyses, and trying to explain the differences between two SARs. Findings identified that “police trust in Hong Kong and Macao is at relatively high level”, and “the lower-class elderly with low-level education” and “the middle class/ upper-middle class young people with high-level education” are two main groups of people who have extreme police trust in Hong Kong and Macao. The possibility of future research was also discussed.
