“…Leroux and McShane's (2016) study among Canadian youths showed that such a program affected their perceptions of police distributive justice, although this finding should be interpreted with caution as the study examined only one group of youths (who were not at risk) and did not include a no-program comparison group. Finally, a recent study of youth at risk who participated in police studies in an out-of-home care setting (residential school) showed that they evaluated police effectiveness, procedural justice, and legitimacy more positively than did a similar group in a different setting who received a different intervention program (Azmy, 2020). The study also showed that perceptions of police effectiveness and procedural justice mediated the relationship between program participation and perceived police legitimacy (Azmy, 2020).…”

“…Policing youth at risk is one of the greatest challenges facing police forces worldwide, particularly because police practices used with members of this population have a crucial role in shaping their perceptions of police legitimacy, police procedural justice, police effectiveness, and police distributive justice (Azmy, 2020) and their personal morality (Arsino & Gold, 2006;Reysen et al, 2017), which affect their willingness to cooperate with the police (Helwig & Jasiobedzka, 2001;Murphy et al, 2008).…”

This study examined a unique police studies intervention program by comparing two groups of youth-at-risk in two types of residential youth schools. The experimental group included 129 youths who had attended a police studies program, while the control group included 167 youths who had attended a different intervention program, without police studies. We hypothesized that the experimental group would have more positive perceptions of police legitimacy and distributive justice and higher levels of personal morality than the control group would. Moreover, we hypothesized that the relationship between the type of the intervention program and perceptions of police legitimacy would be explained by youths’ personal morality and perceptions of police distributive justice. The study showed that the experimental group had more positive perceptions of police legitimacy and higher personal morality than did the control group, but there were no differences in perceived police distributive justice between the two groups. In addition, while personal morality partly mediated the link between the type of intervention program and perceptions of police legitimacy, perceived police distributive justice did not. Empirical and theoretical implications are discussed.
