ABSTRACT

A substantial body of research has demonstrated the importance of procedural justice, trust, and obligation to obey in generating enhanced levels of compliance and cooperation with the criminal justice system. Although this body of research has found a strong relationship between perceptions of police procedural justice, legitimacy, trust, and obligation to obey, research examining individuals’ views of procedural justice and its relation to many positive outcomes of correctional officers is limited in size, especially in jail settings. Using data from a sample of arrestees (n = 443) in one Maricopa County, Arizona jail, this study tests the applicability of the process-based model of regulation in assessing arrestees’ perceptions of detention officers. The results show a positive and significant relationship between perceptions of procedural justice, trust, and obligation to obey detention officers. Specifically, procedural justice was the strongest indicator of both trust and obligation to obey.

摘要

大量的研究表明，程序正义，信任和遵守义务的重要性对于提高与刑事司法系统的依从性和合作水平具有重要意义。尽管该研究机构发现对警察程序正义，合法性，信任和服从义务的认识之间存在密切关系，但研究个人对程序正义的观点及其与惩教人员的许多积极成果之间关系的研究仍然有限，特别是在监狱设置中。使用来自被捕者样本的数据（n（= 443）在亚利桑那州马里科帕县的一个监狱中，这项研究测试了基于过程的法规模型在评估被捕者对拘留人员的看法中的适用性。结果表明，对程序正义，信任和服从拘留人员的义务的认识之间存在积极而重要的关系。具体而言，程序正义是信任和遵守义务的最强指标。
