Perceptions of Procedural Justice
- Procedural Justice: (subject-baseline, subject-follow-up, collateral-baseline, subject-release)
An assessment of perceptions of fairness and equality connected with
arrest and court processing (in the subject baseline, subject
follow-up and collateral baseline). This scale focuses primarily on
police, judges, legitimacy of the law, and legal cynicism. This
assessment is completed by the subject (regarding his/her own
experiences, at subject baseline and subject follow-up) and the
collateral (regarding his/her own experiences, at collateral
baseline). In the release interview, these questions focus on the
subject's perceptions of fairness and equality connected with
treatment by the staff at the facility.
