“…Yet, other policing experts identify weaknesses in this logic. For example, Kleinig (2002) noted the importance of the appropriateness of the means and of understanding the proportionality of the means to the ends (see the discussion on “task-related rule breaking” in van Halderen & Kolthoff, 2017).…”

“…Although social media platforms have highlighted dramatic violations of individual rights by policing authorities, everyday procedural transgressions are often hidden from the wider public; these more common misbehaviors are sometimes regarded as acceptable and, therefore, overlooked when the guilt of the apprehended is probable and the victim’s interest is protected (e.g., police allege that hidden evidence was in plain view; officer embellishes testimony regarding probable cause to justify the seizure of an illegal substance). Moreover, behaviors of this nature (Crank & Caldero, 2000; Kleinig, 2002; Sharpe, 1995; Small & Watson, 1999; van Halderen & Kolthoff, 2017) are seldom penalized (Grano, 1971; Jacobi, 2011; Moreno, 2015; Orfield, 1992) and even habitual transgressions are often left unaddressed (Grano, 1971; Jacobi, 2011; LaFave, 1965; Meltzer, 1988); yet, they pose a threat to the integrity of the policing profession.…”

Through interviews ( n = 40) and surveys ( n = 140) with separate samples of U.S. defense attorneys practicing criminal law in a Northeastern state, we utilize a mixed-methods approach to explore police procedural transgressions (e.g., pretextual stops, overreaching searches) during stops, searches, and seizures. With a structural equation path model, we examine whether and how procedural justice (an assessment of “the means” to control crime) and police effectiveness (an assessment of police performance or “the ends”) affect each other and influence perceptions of police legitimacy. Our findings indicate that procedural justice enhances perceptions of police legitimacy, whereas police effectiveness does not have an effect. Policy implications for developing mechanisms that discourage procedural transgressions by police are discussed.

Much of the empirical research on corruption for the past 45 years has focused on perception-based definitions and measurements. Citizens’ perceptions, their attitudes and (self)reported experiences of corruption have been widely studied through different perception-based measures obtained in surveys, interviews, and experiments applied to citizens in general, and experts, business leaders, politicians, or public officials. Notwithstanding the significant progress made to understand the complexity of citizens’ understandings, judgements and practices, we are still unable to decipher by what criteria they establish what is or is not corruption and what types of corruption are susceptible of being condemned/tolerated. This paper makes an innovative contribution to fill this gap. We propose a methodological design to identify and measure different perception-based definitions of corruption based on two contrasting normative perspectives: deontological and consequentialist ethics. We identified four groups: the Virtuous; the Intransigent; the Pragmatic; and the Hypocrite. Using survey data from a national sample of Portuguese citizens, we employ discriminant analysis and logistic regression models to differentiate individual profiles in terms of process- and outcome-based social definitions of corruption and explore the explanatory factors that account for these different conceptualisations and their different degree of tolerance towards corruption.
