Legitimacy, Trust, Social Capital, and Policing Styles (2008, neutral): “…legitimacy of the police increases when officers conduct their business in a manner that promotes “procedural justice” (Matrofski, Snipes, & Supina, 1996; Paternoster, Brame, Bachman, & Sherman, 1997; Sherman, 1997; Tyler, Boeckmann, Smith, & Huo, 1997; Tyler & Huo, 2002; Tyler & Wakslak, 2004).”
The Impact of Procedurally-Just Policing on Citizen Perceptions of Police During Traffic Stops: The Adana Randomized Controlled Trial (2016, neutral): “…fairly and treat people in respectful and polite ways) inﬂuences not only their feelings about speciﬁc encounters with the police but also shapes their general evaluations of trust and conﬁdence in the police as an institution (Sunshine and Tyler 2003; Tyler and Huo 2002; Tyler and Wakslak 2004).”
Procedural justice, police legitimacy, and legal cynicism: a test for mediation effects (2015, background): “…studies relying on mail surveys have seen similarly low response rates (e.g. Mazerolle, Bennett, Antrobus, & Eggins, 2012, with response rates of 12 and 13%; Tyler & Wakslak, 2004, with 22%); even telephone surveys yield modal response rates of 25% (McCarty, House, Harman, & Richards, 2006).”
Why does the public cooperate with law enforcement? The influence of the purposes and targets of policing. (2011, background): “Past studies find that non-minority groups base judgments of procedural justice on both how their ethnic cohort is treated and on how police treat other racial and ethnic groups (Tyler, 2005; Tyler and Wakslak, 2004).”
Policing in Black and White: Ethnic Group Differences in Trust and Confidence in the Police (2005, background): “Hence, one way in which the police could manifest unfairness was to act differently to different members of the community based on their race (also see Tyler & Wakslak, 2004).”
Procedural justice during police-citizen encounters: The effects of process-based policing on citizen compliance and demeanor (2011, background): “In fact, most of the research that undergirds this perspective uses citizen surveys and focuses on judgments made by the public rather than on objective police actions or failures to act (Reisig et al., 2007; Sunshine & Tyler, 2003; Tyler, 1990; Tyler & Huo, 2002; Tyler & Wakslak, 2004).”
Procedural justice in contacts with the police: testing a relational model of authority in a mixed methods study (2011, neutral): “…nd ed so le ly fo r t he p er so na l u se o f t he in di vi du al u se r a nd is n ot to b e di ss em in at ed b ro ad ly . authority in citizen–police interactions (Hinds & Murphy, 2007; Murphy, 2009; Sunshine & Tyler, 2003a & b; Tyler, 2001, 2005, 2006; Tyler & Huo, 2002; Tyler & Wakslak, 2004).”
Restorative Justice and Procedural Justice: Dealing with Rule Breaking (2006, background): “For example, when the police engage in racial profiling, which people view as an unfair procedure, they diminish their moral authority by showing that they do not share the public’s moral values about how the police should act (Tyler & Wakslak, 2004).”
Revisiting Broken Windows Theory: Examining the Sources of the Discriminant Validity of Perceived Disorder and Crime (2010, background): “Researchers in other criminological fields of study have been forced to settle for even lower response rates (see, e.g., Tyler & Wakslak, 2004, with a 22 percent response rate) but have provided important contributions nonetheless.”
