This dissertation explores how increasing women and ethnic minorities on police forces impacts public perceptions of police legitimacy. It also looks at how performance influences these perceptions and examines how the effects of representation may be limited by perceptions of corruption. Citizen perceptions of legitimacy are increasingly important for countries that have undergone shifts in governance, borders, and ethnic conflict. In areas where conflicts have occurred along ethnic and religious lines, these characteristics become particularly salient in future interactions with the state. The theory of representative bureaucracy suggests that bureaucracies will be more responsive to the public and may garner additional legitimacy when they reflect the demographics of those they serve (Mosher 1968).This research is situated in Kosovo, a country that has experienced ethnic conflict and gender violence and employs an experimental survey to understand how women and minorities rate police officers in the areas of trust, seriousness in carrying out investigations, and fairness. In gendered scenarios where a respondent had little information about the policies of a force and could only see the demographic makeup of police, representation was an important influence for how women rated legitimacy of police in all areas. In a similar scenario for ethnicity, representation was important to some minority communities but not others. In the scenario where a policy was enacted that would benefit victims of domestic violence, performance mattered to both men and women for all three dimensions of legitimacy, whereas respondents did not react significantly to whether a man or woman enacted the policy. Findings for ethnicity in a similar scenario where a member of the majority versus minority community enacted a policy show representation was not important, but performance was significant for all groups in all areas of legitimacy. These findings imply that representation is most important when little information is known about policies of the bureaucracy. They also point to the importance of bureaucratic performance and establishing effective policies to gain greater legitimacy in the eyes of the public in terms of evaluations of seriousness, fairness, and trustworthiness of the bureaucracy. Moving to evaluations of legitimacy based on actual makeup of local police, findings are mixed. However, perceptions of increased corruption are consistently associated with negative perceptions of police legitimacy.
