Your First Five Crime Studies of March 21
All of today's research relates to procedural justice
I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you explain crime to your audience.
Your First Five is a daily (M-F) series that publishes a curated selection of recent research related to crime and justice. Each post contains links to new studies that I hope will enhance your work explaining crime. The publication schedule is in flux for the moment.
These new studies related to criminology and criminal justice were published recently by journals I monitor:
1. Does Procedural Justice Moderate the Effect of Collective Efficacy on Police Legitimacy?, published in American Journal of Criminal Justice. (Restricted access)
2. Procedural Justice in Their Eyes: A Qualitative Interview Study Among Detainees, published in International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology. (Restricted access)
3. Fuelling contempt for police: explaining why procedural injustice and police ineffectiveness damage Muslims’ trust in police, published in Policing and Society. (Open access)
4. Procedurally just policing and persons in behavioral crises: investigating public perceptions, stigma and emotion, published in Policing: An International Journal. (Restricted access)
5. The effect of organizational justice on police officers’ perception of procedural justice in the South Korea: the mediating roles of perceived discretion and responsiveness, published in Policing: An International Journal. (Restricted access)
I might cover some of these studies further in Understanding Crime. If one sounds interesting or important, let me know in the comments.
Right now, I'm considering number 1. The following passage caught my eye:
Results suggest perceptions that police treat people fairly minimize the impact of low collective efficacy beliefs on police legitimacy evaluations.
