Police Intervention Programmes and Delinquency Among At-Risk Juveniles in Residential Youth Villages
This study evaluated a police intervention programme implemented in Israeli educational residential youth villages for at-risk juveniles. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study compared two matched groups of 118 youths, one enrolled in a police programme and the other in alternative interventions, to assess whether police legitimacy and social resistance mediated the relationship between programme type and self-reported delinquency. The res…
Cooperation of At-risk juveniles with law enforcement and avoidance of criminal and Risky Behaviours
This study examined 150 at-risk juveniles in Israeli youth villages to analyse the role of police procedural justice, effectiveness, sense of belonging to Israel, social resistance, and police legitimacy in predicting their willingness to cooperate with police and their self-report engagement in risky and criminal behaviours. The results revealed that police effectiveness was the sole and strongest predictor of at-risk juveniles’ willingness to c…
Legitimacy and online proceedings
Courts have long struggled to bridge the access-to-justice gap associated with in-person hearings, which makes the recent adoption of online legal proceedings potentially beneficial. Online proceedings hold promise for better access: they occur remotely, can proceed asynchronously, and often rely solely on written communication. Yet these very qualities may also undermine some of the well-established elements of procedural-justice perceptions, a …
The influence of the legislative and judicial branches on moral judgment and norm perception with the special case of judicial intervention
This paper examines the capacity of the legislative and judicial branches to shift moral judgment in the direction of the law, when they assume complementary, or competing, normative stances. Participants were asked to rate the morality and social acceptability of ethically dubious behaviors that were either permitted, or prohibited, by the legislative or judicial branch. We found that (i) the legislative branch alters moral judgment in the direc…
Policing alienated minorities in divided cities
Minority groups frequently challenge the legitimacy of legal authorities, particularly the police. Without trust and legitimacy, the police encounter constant conflict and cannot function effectively. While past research has examined minorities’ perceptions of the police, national minorities provide an interesting and under‐investigated test case because of their inherent identity conflict with the state. The current research examines three facto…
Implications of research staff demographics for psychological science
Long-standing research traditions in psychology have established the fundamental impact of social categories, such as race and gender, on people's perceptions of themselves and others, as well as on general human cognition and behavior. However, there is a general tendency to ignore research staff demographics (e.g., researchers' race and gender) in research development and research reports. Variation in research staff demographics can exert syst…
Law and moral order
Compliance and Legal Authority
The Consequences of Being an Object of Suspicion
During the latter half of the 20th century U.S. policing became more professional (Skogan & Frydl 2004) and the rate of violent crime declined dramatically (Blumstein & Wallman ). Yet public trust and confidence in the police increased at best marginally and there has been a large and continuing racial gap in police legitimacy. This article reviews changes in police policy and practice to explore the reasons for this seeming paradox. It is argued…

What motivates adherence to medical recommendations? The procedural justice approach to gaining deference in the medical arena
Although it is within their long‐term interest, patients often fail to follow health care recommendations made by medical experts. This failure results in the widespread occurrence of preventable health problems and a significant increase in health care costs. Taking a new approach to confronting this issue, this paper examines whether the procedural justice model, which has been useful in explaining cooperation with legal and managerial authorit…
My Life for A Voice
(The Need for) A Model of Translational Mind Science Justice Research
Despite the historical importance of translational research to social psychological investigations of social justice issues, the culture and incentives of contemporary social psychology are ambivalent towards non-experimental field research. This ambivalence poses a significant impediment to social psychology’s role in societal change. This paper offers a brief history of how the field evolved from a relative emphasis on translating social psycho…
