Abstract

Institutional legitimacy and trust are two of the factors having more influence on the opinion of young people about the police. However, their concept of “authority” is key to understanding their willingness to
accept the demands made by the police, even though they can consider they are not entirely fair. The results of this research based on qualitative methodology shows that young people have a good opinion about the police in general and are willing to cooperate with it, even though they think they are not well treated by the authorities.
