In this talk, Arizona State University Professor Ed Maguire will provide a brief roadmap of the empirical research on procedural justice and its outcomes. Over the past decade, there has been a massive amount of research on procedural justice and its applications in policing and other criminal justice settings. In spite of the sheer volume of research, many basic questions remain unanswered about how people form perceptions of justice and how these perceptions influence key outcomes like cooperation and compliance. Professor Ed Maguire will highlight some of the issues and challenges in this body of research. He will also discuss recent research findings and their implications for police during encounters with individuals, groups, and crowds.
