“…Boehme et al, 2022;Jackson et al, 2023;McLean, 2017), our findings show that ethnicity does not seem to moderate the association between procedural justice and legitimacy. While Sun and Wu (2022) concluded that race/ethnicity moderates the effect of procedural justice on legitimacy by reviewing US-based studies, this phenomenon might be confined in the USA, or to other contexts marked by significant (racial/ ethnic) intergroup tensions. We did identify potential moderating effects from gender, or the level of democracy.…”

“…Thus far, it is not clear whether the relationship between procedural justice and legitimacy is consistent or 'invariant' (Wolfe et al, 2016). While some studies suggest that age, gender, and ethnicity may moderate the procedural justice to legitimacy pathway (Fine et al, 2020;Kahn & Martin, 2016;Sargeant et al, 2014;Sun & Wu, 2022;Tyler & Huo, 2002), others indicate that this association does not vary across demographic categories such as ethnicity, gender, education, age, income, or ideology (Huo, 2003;Tyler, 1994Tyler, , 2000Tyler, , 2004Wolfe et al, 2016). In order to address this 'invariance thesis', the last objective of this review is to test the effects of contextual factors on the correlation between procedural justice and legitimacy.…”

“…Second, and more importantly, previous review studies have not considered why procedural justice links to legitimacy, nor provided a systematic review addressing the role of social identity in PJT. Third, there has been no systematic review exploring the invariance thesis (although see Sun and Wu 2022).…”

Objectives To systematically review the effect of social identity and social contexts on the association between procedural justice and legitimacy in policing. Methods A meta-analysis synthesising data from 123 studies (N = 200,966) addressing the relationship between procedural justice and legitimacy in policing. Random effects univariate and two-stage structural equation modelling meta-analyses were performed. Results Both procedural justice and social identity are found to be significantly correlated with police legitimacy. Moreover, social identity significantly mediates, but does not moderate, the association between procedural justice and legitimacy. People of younger age and from more developed countries tend to correlate procedural justice stronger with police legitimacy. Conclusion This study demonstrates that social identity is an important antecedent of legitimacy and a critical factor in the dynamics of procedural fairness in policing. It also shows that the extent to which procedural justice and legitimacy are correlated varies across social groups and contexts. The theoretical implications of our findings are discussed.
