Abstract
This chapter summarizes the empirical findings of the book and explains two of its contributions to scholarship. First, it contributes evidence that Americans hold “pragmatic” opinions about crime prevention. Second, it indicates that racial priming may not affect opinions about neighborhood-level policies in the same way it affects opinions about welfare for individuals. The book’s implications for politics show that the best way to maximize public support and avoid backlash is to advocate for community investment policies using racially inclusive rhetoric that emphasizes neighborhood-level social problems. Finally, in regard to the “defund the police” debate, the results indicate that Americans are broadly supportive of advocates’ calls to increase funding to forms of crime prevention outside of the criminal justice system, but Americans are more divided on the question of reducing funding to police departments. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the study’s limitations and recommendations for future research.
