A new study has found that high school seniors are increasingly untrusting of both law enforcement and the justice system.
. It used data compiled between 2006 and 2017 from 10,000 students involved in the Monitoring the Future study, which consists of annual, self-reported surveys of 12th grade students across the country.
“We found that adolescents’ trust in law enforcement in particular declined more rapidly in recent years than their confidence in any other authority,” said lead author Adam D. Fine, a professor at Arizona State University. “Our results contradicted the common stereotype that teens have ‘anti-authority’ attitudes because trust in schools and religious organizations was not affected. This shows that by 12th grade, teens are clearly able to differentiate among different types of authority.
