Abstract

Objectives: Public perception of the police is influenced by media coverage. This study aims to map research related to the image and reputation of the police in media coverage.

Methods: This research uses a bibliometrics approach. The research data was obtained from the Scopus database.

Results: Our results found 433 articles and provide an overview of the evolution and current state of research in police reputation and image in the last 28 years. The study found that the trend of police reputation and image publications continues to increase. The results indicate that researchers in this field have investigated a wide range of topics that can be grouped into four broad areas: police, policing and media channels, police and public, police brutality, and crime.

Conclusions: This study implies that police should pay greater attention to news coverage in mainstream media. Police must realize that public opinion cannot be formed simply by increasing social media presence. Conducting evaluations and updates in community policing can be a solution to improve the police's image and reputation.
