POLICE ORGANIZATION
PJ
Based on The Link between Communicative Intelligence and Procedural Justice: The Path to Police Legitimacy (Zoller; Mitchell 2016)
Officer contacts (via PJ) shape and inform the Community’s perception of Police Legitimacy (PL).
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Strong sense of internal procedural justice makes organizations more healthy and officers more apt to be procedurally just; The community’s perception of the organization (Police Legitimacy) is shaped by Officer Encounters and whether they are believed to be Procedurally Just. --- Eg: difference between REACTING and RESPONDING
