Abstract
This study explores the role of procedural justice in shaping police legitimacy perceptions of crime victims whose cases were screened out from further investigation. It is based on a secondary analysis of the Metropolitan Police Public Attitude Survey data and builds on the Tyler’s (1990, 2001) process-based model of policing that views procedural justice as paramount in establishing legitimacy. Overall, the research finds that procedural justice is a strong correlate of police and law legitimacy for this class of victims, confirming previous similar results in regard to other categories of people. Based on these findings, the paper draws conclusions and practical recommendations in regard to the implementation of the screening out procedure, and suggests further avenues for research in this area.
