“…Therefore, future research should continue examining the experiences and perceptions of immigrants of different racial/ethnic groups in multiple cities and with various immigration backgrounds. For example, Morales and Curry (2021) found that “citizenship profiling,” like racial profiling, was the mediating factor that compromised police legitimacy. Our results are promising for police organizations.…”

This study examines the relationship between immigration generational status and people's perception of police procedural justice, net of individual-level and neighborhoodlevel control variables. It also explores the importance of contextual variables, particularly neighborhood foreign-born concentration and collective efficacy, on residents' perceptions of police procedural justice. Methods: With a multi-stage, clustered sample approach, we randomly selected census tracts in San José, California, and then households inside each tract were chosen to participate in a survey. We used multi-level modeling to explore factors that were associated with procedural justice. Results: Results show first-generation immigrants, compared to second or third-and-plus-generation immigrants, are more positive in their evaluations of police procedural justice. Results also show that neighborhood collective efficacy can significantly affect people's perceptions of procedural justice, even after controlling for individual-level predictors and neighborhood characteristics. Conclusion:Both individual-level immigration measures and neighborhood factors should be included in future research.

“…It is important to expand the scope of procedural justice research beyond individual experiences to contextual factors. Specifically, previous research underscores how neighborhood context may be a more important predictor of satisfaction with the police than individual characteristics (Morales and Curry 2021; Wu et al. 2009).…”

“…Literature on procedural justice investigates the relationship between perceptions of just treatment and legal compliance, initially in judicial settings and more recently in the wider criminal justice context and in administrative processes (Tyler 1988;Nagin and Telep 2017). Predominantly concerned with citizens and their assessment of administrative and legal institutions, a growing body of scholarship -mostly US-based -is now also investigating noncitizens' or ethnic minorities' perceptions of procedural justice (Kirk et al 2011;Ryo 2017;Morales and Curry 2021;Dierckx, van Hiel, and Valcke 2020). This research is all the more important since the lack of formal citizenship rights and exclusion from democratic decision-making processes force migrants to process their interests and rights claims through administrative procedures and the court system.…”

Recent advances in citizenship and migration studies have demonstrated the need to explore noncitizens' social, political and legal relationships to the state in their own right. Such a rethinking inevitably requires analysing how both 'citizenship' and 'the state' are enacted and performed in the negotiation of substantive rights. This special issue follows an unexplored path by scrutinizing these interactions between 'citizenship' and 'stateness' in the domain of procedural law, procedural safeguards, and perceptions of procedural justice among a variety of actors. The contributions explore empirically how procedural rules are invoked, altered, disregarded, or reinvented in different sites of interaction, ranging from asylum determination and adjudication to immigration and municipal registration offices. This interactionist approach not only recasts procedural rules as an integral part of citizenship struggles, thereby shedding light on the co-constitution of state and noncitizenship, but also stresses the importance of nuanced analyses of the nexus between procedural and substantive rights.

“…This situation could result from high levels of poverty among Latinx, forcing individuals into undesirable neighborhoods that are not well-regulated, increasing the presence of disorder and crime, as well as generating an increased fear of crime. Such neighborhoods may also be more likely to witness harassment from the police, due possibly to the high levels of crime and disorder found there, as well as prejudicial attitudes by the police toward Latinx (Morales & Curry, 2021).…”

“…Studies have consistently reported that Latinx youth and adults engage in more criminal behavior to the extent that they are more acculturated to U.S. society (Alvarez-Rivera et al, 2014). In addition, other forms of coercion such as neighborhood crime and disorder (Rodriguez, 2005; Vigil, 2007, 2010) and police harassment (Morales et al, 2018; Morales & Curry, 2021; Rios, 2011) also represent adverse experiences that may be common in the lives of Latinx individuals. 1 However, how these forms of coercion influence the occurrence of family violence among Latinx families remains unexplored.…”

We develop and test an extension of differential coercion and social support (DCSS) theory focused on Latinx individuals that employs measures of coercion and social support, both at the individual and environmental levels, that may be especially salient to this population. Data come from Latinx adults (n=863) randomly sampled from El Paso County, Texas and were analyzed using logistic and OLS regression analyses and employed the PROCESS Macro for assessing mediating relationships. Findings show moderate support for hypotheses. Specifically, a structural measure of social support (neighborhood social support) was inversely associated with family violence and mediated relationships between three separate measures of coercion and family violence, supporting predictions. However, two cultural measures of social support (enculturation to Mexico and familismo) did not demonstrate such relationships, failing to support predictions. Additional findings show that two of the three measures of coercion (neighborhood crime and disorder and police harassment) were inversely associated with family violence as predicted, but that a third measure, acculturation to the U.S., was not. Implications for DCSS theory and criminal offending for Latinx are discussed.
