The literature on perceptions of police is growing, yet the enthusiasm is outpacing methodological rigor. This study (a) examined the factor structure of items assessing procedural justice and legitimacy, (b) tested whether the factors were uniquely associated with youth self-reported offending (SRO), and (c) identi fi ed whether effects on subsequent SRO operated through legitimacy. Using data derived from the 1,216 youth in the Crossroads Study, as well as supplemental models with Pathways to Desistance data, factor analyses established a factor structure, negative binomial regressions examined associations with SRO, and indirect effects analysis within a structural equation model framework identi fi ed whether associations on SRO operated through legitimacy. A fi ve-factor solution emerged: Voice, Neutrality/ Impartiality, Distributive Justice/Bias, Respect, and Legitimacy. In the adjusted model, only Distributive Justice/Bias and Legitimacy were directly associated with concurrent SRO. However, all procedural justice scales had indirect effects on subsequent offending through legitimacy. Implications for methodology and procedural justice theory are discussed.

Existing research suggests that incentives to plead guilty may influence guilty and innocent defendants differently. This study examines that possibility through testing theoretically-informed predictions relating to the interaction between different types of plea discount (sentence length and sentence type), guilt, and probability of conviction in predicting plea decisions, with a focus on the discounts in England and Wales. Participants (N=3,375) made plea decisions in vignettes that varied discount type offered, probability of conviction, and guilt between-subjects. Participants also answered questions about considerations that were important to them when making plea decisions. Results provide support for predictions, specifically at higher levels of probability of conviction, by showing that a discount resulting in a categorically different sentence type (probation rather than custody) encouraged both ‘guilty’ and ‘innocent’ participants to plead guilty, but that a discount resulting only in a shorter sentence of the same type (a 1/3 reduction in sentence-length) only encouraged ‘guilty’ participants to plead guilty. Participant reports of the considerations important to them when pleading suggest that the categorical discount reduced the importance of factual guilt or innocence in the decision-making of innocent defendants. Findings suggest that utilising plea discounts that vary sentences quantitatively but not categorically is important in maximising the extent to which plea discounts appeal to guilty but not innocent defendants.
