Abstract

Objectives

The goal of this study is to evaluate the potential spill-over of police procedural justice perceptions onto perceptions of prison staff procedural justice and assess the impact of this spill-over on prison misconduct.

Methods

This study uses data from the Prison Project a longitudinal panel study collected in the Netherlands. The analytic sample included 730 participants. We use structural equation modeling to assess the direct and indirect effects of perceptions of police procedural justice on in-prison misconduct (self-reported and official) mediated by prison staff procedural justice.

Results

Perceptions of police procedural justice are significantly and positively associated with prison staff procedural justice and significantly, negatively, and indirectly associated with prison misconduct through perceptions of prison staff procedural justice. Prison staff procedural justice is significantly and negatively associated with official and self-reported misconduct.

Conclusions

Police procedural justice may have lingering effects on the behavior of people who encounter law enforcement. While prison staff may be able to affect prison misconduct through just procedures, they may benefit or suffer from the impact of people's prior criminal justice experiences.

考察程序正义对狱中不当行为的溢出效应

本研究的目的是评估警察程序公正观念对监狱工作人员程序公正观念的潜在溢出效应，并评估这种溢出效应对监狱不当行为的影响。方法本研究使用了在荷兰收集的纵向小组研究 "监狱项目 "的数据。分析样本包括 730 名参与者。我们使用结构方程模型来评估警察程序公正观念对监狱内不当行为（自我报告和官方报告）的直接和间接影响，并以监狱工作人员程序公正观念为中介。结果警察程序公正观念与监狱工作人员程序公正观念显著正相关，并通过监狱工作人员程序公正观念与监狱内不当行为显著负相关和间接相关。监狱工作人员的程序公正与官方和自我报告的不当行为有显著的负相关。虽然监狱工作人员可以通过公正的程序来影响监狱中的不当行为，但他们可能会受益于或受到人们之前的刑事司法经历的影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Criminal Justice is an international journal intended to fill the present need for the dissemination of new information, ideas and methods, to both practitioners and academicians in the criminal justice area. The Journal is concerned with all aspects of the criminal justice system in terms of their relationships to each other. Although materials are presented relating to crime and the individual elements of the criminal justice system, the emphasis of the Journal is to tie together the functioning of these elements and to illustrate the effects of their interactions. Articles that reflect the application of new disciplines or analytical methodologies to the problems of criminal justice are of special interest. Since the purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum for the dissemination of new ideas, new information, and the application of new methods to the problems and functions of the criminal justice system, the Journal emphasizes innovation and creative thought of the highest quality.
