Objectives

To test whether normative and non-normative forms of obligation to obey the police are empirically distinct and to assess whether they exhibit different dynamics in terms of the downstream effects of police-citizen contact.

Methods

Analysing data from the Scottish Community Engagement Trial of procedurally just policing, we use natural effect modelling for causally ordered mediators to assess causal pathways that include—but also extend beyond—the experimental treatment to procedural justice.

Results

Normative and non-normative forms of obligation are empirically distinct. Normative obligation to obey the police is sensitive to procedurally just or unjust police behaviour, and influences cooperation with the police and traffic law compliance in a way that is consistent with procedural justice theory. Non-normative obligation to obey the police is ‘sticky’ and unresponsive.

Conclusions

Legitimacy can resonably be defined partly as normative obligation with its expected beneficial downstream effects, so long as it is measured properly.

“真正的自由同意”?使用因果中介分析阐明警察合法性的本质

目标

测试服从警察的规范和非规范形式在经验上是否不同,并评估它们是否在警察-公民接触的下游影响方面表现出不同的动态。

方法

分析来自苏格兰社区参与试验的程序公正警务数据,我们使用自然效应模型对因果有序的调解人进行评估,包括但也扩展到程序正义的实验处理之外的因果路径。

结果

规范和非规范形式的义务在经验上是不同的。服从警察的规范义务对程序公正或不公正的警察行为很敏感,并以符合程序正义理论的方式影响与警察的合作和交通法规的遵守。服从警察的非规范义务​​是“粘性的”且反应迟钝。

结论

合法性可以合理地部分定义为规范性义务及其预期的有益下游影响,只要对其进行适当衡量即可。
