Ottawa – About two-thirds of Canadians in a recent survey said they have a high level of trust in the police force.
The October-January survey for Statistics Canada also found that this proportion was higher than other institutions in Canada: 51% for the judicial system and courts, 36% for the federal parliament, and 33% for the Canadian media.
Previous polls have found that Black Canadians have less trust in the police compared to non-Indigenous and non-racial people.
The latest poll shows that in Canada, 63% of Southeast Asians, 52% of Blacks and 47% of Japanese have less trust in the police. This proportion rises to 69% for people who do not belong to any racial group and who are not Aborigines.
On the other hand, some racialized groups are more likely to trust the judicial system and the courts. In Canada, South Asians, Chinese, Filipinos, Arabs, Hispanics, Southeast Asians, West Asians, and Koreans are more confident than Canadians with no ethnicity and non-Indigenous populations.
New immigrants showed a particularly high level of confidence in this regard.
Similar trends were observed for trust in the federal legislature and the Canadian media.
