• Procedural justice, police legitimacy, and legal cynicism: a test for mediation effects (2015, background): “Reisig, Wolfe, and Holtfreter (2011) discovered that legal cynicism, legitimacy of police and courts, and low self-control exerted independent impacts upon offending, which underscored the importance of cynicism in the legitimacy–compliance link.”
• The Social and Developmental Antecedents of Legal Cynicism (2015, methodology): “…higher violent crime rates (Kirk and Papachristos 2011), a lack of collective efficacy (Kirk and Matsuda 2011), self-reported criminal behaviors (Fagan and Piquero 2007; Jackson et al. 2012; Reisig et al. 2011), and lower desistance from intimate partner violence (Emery, Jolley, and Wu 2011).”
