Abstract

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to test the impact of a procedural justice letter intervention that was delivered with traffic infringement notices on subsequent speeding offences.

Method

This study used the Queensland Speeding Engagement Trial (QSET) to experimentally test the impact of using the principles of procedural justice within a police issued letter, on individuals detected speeding by cameras. Participants in the control condition (n = 7946) received a speeding infringement notice as per normal while those in the experimental condition (n = 8209) received the procedurally just letter in addition to the speeding infringement notice. Administrative data for the 12 months following the intervention was used to identify if participants engaged in subsequent speeding and other traffic offending behaviours.

Results

The results indicated that the intervention reduced subsequent speeding offences for drivers 25 years and older in the experimental condition when compared with the control condition. No differences were found for other types of traffic offences.

Conclusions

Thus, this study demonstrates that the effects of procedural justice (a) can be achieved through purposeful written communication and (b) reduce subsequent offending behaviour.

程序上公正的传单可以减少随后的超速驾驶：昆士兰超速驾驶参与审判（QSET）的证据

目的本研究的目的是测试伴随交通违法通知而发出的程序性司法信函干预对随后的超速犯罪的影响。方法本研究使用昆士兰超速参与试验（QSET）来实验测试在警方发布的信件中使用程序正义原则对被摄像头检测到超速的个人的影响。对照条件下的参与者（n=7946）按照正常情况收到了超速违规通知，而实验条件下的与会者（n=8209）除了收到超速违规通知外，还收到了程序上公正的信件。干预后12个月的行政数据用于确定参与者是否有随后的超速和其他交通违法行为。结果与对照组相比，干预措施减少了25岁及以上驾驶员在实验条件下的后续超速行为。其他类型的交通违法行为没有发现差异。结论因此，本研究表明，程序正义的效果（a）可以通过有目的的书面交流来实现，（b）减少随后的冒犯行为。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Experimental Criminology focuses on high quality experimental and quasi-experimental research in the advancement of criminological theory and/or the development of evidence based crime and justice policy. The journal is also committed to the advancement of the science of systematic reviews and experimental methods in criminology and criminal justice. The journal seeks empirical papers on experimental and quasi-experimental studies, systematic reviews on substantive criminological and criminal justice issues, and methodological papers on experimentation and systematic review. The journal encourages submissions from scholars in the broad array of scientific disciplines that are concerned with criminology as well as crime and justice problems.
