Understanding Procedural Justice: The Role of Fairness in Crime and Security Decisions

This research examines how individuals' perceptions of procedural fairness and satisfaction influence their evaluation of crime and security decisions made by authorities. By analyzing the motivations behind procedural justice judgments, the study highlights the differences in perspectives between authorities and subordinates during police interrogations. The findings suggest that while authorities may prioritize protecting social order, subordinates focus more on respectful treatment and relational concerns. This study sheds light on the factors impacting perceptions of justice and offers insights into improving policing practices.
