Procedural Justice, Legitimacy, and Public Cooperation with Police (2017, background): “…(a broader concept that encompasses mutual trust and cohesion) on residents’ assessments of the police have been documented in a growing number of Western studies (e.g., Gau et al. 2012; Nix et al. 2015; Ren et al. 2005; Wu, Sun, and Smith 2011), this relationship is underresearched in China.”
Trust in the Police (2015, methodology): “The items used to operationalize procedural justice were adopted from recent examinations of the process-based model of policing (see, for example, Gau et al., 2012; Reisig et al., 2007; Sunshine & Tyler, 2003; Tankebe, 2013).”
Monopolizing Force? Police Legitimacy and Public Attitudes toward the Acceptability of Violence (2013, unknown): “, 2013), as well as Gau et al.’s (2012) approach of using just trust/confidence measures to indicate legitimacy.”
Procedural Justice and Police Legitimacy: A Test of Measurement and Structure (2013, background): “A relatively large proportion of studies asks general questions about survey respondents’ perceptions of police fairness and respectfulness (e.g., Gau, 2011; Gau et al., 2012; Reisig et al., 2007; Reisig & Lloyd, 2009; Sunshine & Tyler, 2003; Tyler & Wakslak, 2004).”

Measuring Procedural Justice in Police-Citizen Encounters (2015, background): “we not find these correlations when we observe police behavior in its natural setting? Strong consistency in citizens’ procedural justice assessments as measured in surveys may be the result of the more general tendency for consistency among attitudes, beliefs, and opinions, as expressed in a number”
