Morrison-Cronkite Quarterly Poll Contact: Dr. David Daugherty, 602-496-0215 / David.B.Daugherty@asu.edu   March  3,  2015       The  survey  of  754  randomly  selected  Arizona  adults  was  conducted  between  Jan.   20-­‐28,  2015.  Interviews  averaged  12  minutes  in  length  with  about  40  percent  of   interviews  conducted  via  mobile  phones.    Respondents  were  given  the  choice  of   doing  the  interview  in  English  or  Spanish.    To  ensure  results  represent  the  general   state  population,  data  was  weighted  by  using  a  post-­‐stratification  technique  to  scale   the  respondents  to  census  population  estimates,  including  geographic  distribution. The  margin  of  error  for  most  items,  prior  to  subsample  breakdowns,  is  about  4   percentage  points.   Item responses and Margins of Error Question Text Answer Text 95 Percent Sampling Error (±) Weighted Percent Issues surrounding the behavior of law enforcement personnel, particularly toward minorities, have become a major source of media coverage and discussion over the past few months. In your opinion, do the law enforcement agencies in Arizona treat everyone the same or do they have a different set of behaviors and rules depending upon the ethnicity of the person they encounter?
