Abstract

In previous chapters we have shown how procedural justice (PJ) is a key antecedent of legitimacy. In this chapter, we examine the difficulties that can arise when integrating PJ into police policy and practice. Drawing on survey data of all police who participated in the Queensland Community Engagement Trial (QCET), as well as in-depth interviews with senior police and academics responsible for managing the trial, we reflect on the challenges encountered during the implementation of QCET. We suggest that the challenges encountered in conducting QCET are not only relevant to similar experimental trials, but also pertinent to the integration of PJ into police practice.
