“…Others have demonstrated that the quality of interactions with the police influence perceptions of trust and legitimacy (e.g., Fagan & Piquero, 2005), yet it is less clear how, specifically, these attributes influence—either positively or negatively—perceptions of trust during interactions. Although there is a large social psychological literature on the effect of different aspects of procedural justice, for example, this largely relies on lab-based studies and has not been consistently applied to “real-world” policing contexts (for a recent exception see Bates et al, 2021). Further research is required to investigate the interpretations and meanings which are assigned to these (trustee) attributes by young people in specific local contexts.…”

We explore young people’s experiences and perceptions of knife crime, and we compare these to the understanding of police experts, to explore the perceptions shaping trust in the police and policing. We carry out an experience sampling survey deployed using a mobile application reflecting on safety and knife crime, to understand young people’s daily lived experiences. We then use the mental models approach to interview young people and police experts and construct a shared mental model which identifies mismatches between the two groups and key areas of discord related to breakdown of trust and communication. We identify gaps, misconceptions and expectations for re-establishing trust and propose strategies to tackle knife crime and improve trust between young people and the police.

“…Procedural justice theory stipulates that a perceived fair legal process builds a high perception of the legitimacy in the law, which leads to more compliant behaviours from members of the public (Barkworth & Murphy, 2015;Bradford et al, 2015;Dai et al, 2011;Murphy & Tyler, 2008). Within procedural justice, there are four elements; voice, neutrality, respect, and trustworthiness (Bates et al, 2020;Goodman-Delahunty, 2010;Sargeant et al, 2012). This study heard the experiences of MCUs and examined them in alignment with the four pillars of procedural justice to understand the continued drug driving offending from MCUs.…”

Proceedings of the 2023 annual Australasian Road Safety Conference held in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. The proceedings provide the Extended Abstracts, Posters, Infographics describing research, educational and policing program implementation and policy and management strategies related to all aspects of road safety and especially related to the conference theme of Safe Travel for All. Almost 600 delegates from 22 countries attended the hybrid conference. Authors of accepted Extended Abstracts represented international and local institutions from all aspects of their respective communities including research centres, private companies, government agencies and community groups. These Extended Abstracts provide an indication of the important work being done in Australia, New Zealand and internationally as part of the United Nations, One UN Vision for Road Safety to reduce the number of crashes on the road by 50 percent by 2030. Over 200 Extended Abstract manuscripts were accepted for face-to-face (F2F), virtual and poster sessions. Each Extended Abstract was peer-reviewed by two experts with relevant expertise. Authors were also provided the option of submitting a Full Paper. Those authors who chose to submit a Full Paper for consideration in the Journal of Road Safety (JRS) could do so based on the outcome of the peer review of their Extended Abstract. Submitted Full Papers undergo peer-review by three independent experts matched by their sector. The matching pairs academic authors with academic reviewers and practitioner authors with practitioner reviewers. Inclusion in the JRS follows acceptance by the peer-reviewers. The conference covered a comprehensive range of topics including speed, infrastructure and road design, cyclist safety, motorcyclist safety, pedestrian safety, road safety education, licensing, vehicle design, impairment due to distraction from mobile phones, alcohol, drugs as well as the impacts of climate change on future transport systems road safety, road safety issues for Indigenous people groups across New Zealand and Australia, integrating road safety into local Government, automated enforcement, gig economy road safety, older drivers, etc.

A procedurally just flyer reduces subsequent speeding offences: evidence from the Queensland Speeding Engagement Trial (QSET)

et al. 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study was to test the impact of a procedural justice letter intervention that was delivered with traffic infringement notices on subsequent speeding offences. Method This study used the Queensland Speeding Engagement Trial (QSET) to experimentally test the impact of using the principles of procedural justice within a police issued letter, on individuals detected speeding by cameras. Participants in the control condition (n = 7946) received a speeding infringement notice as per normal while those in the experimental condition (n = 8209) received the procedurally just letter in addition to the speeding infringement notice. Administrative data for the 12 months following the intervention was used to identify if participants engaged in subsequent speeding and other traffic offending behaviours. Results The results indicated that the intervention reduced subsequent speeding offences for drivers 25 years and older in the experimental condition when compared with the control condition. No differences were found for other types of traffic offences. Conclusions Thus, this study demonstrates that the effects of procedural justice (a) can be achieved through purposeful written communication and (b) reduce subsequent offending behaviour.
