Abstract
ABSTRACT Recent research has examined the relationship between individuals’ news media consumption and attitudes toward police, including how media preferences influence individuals’ perceptions of procedural justice. Building on this work, the current study examines the impact of mass communication engagement on attitudes toward procedural justice among college students in the United States. Using a sample of students from five universities, our results provide evidence that mass communication engagement plays an important role in explaining attitudes toward procedural justice. In contrast to findings reported in prior research on media engagement and procedural justice, we found that Internet news and social media engagement is negatively associated with procedural justice.
