The Importance of Enhancing Procedural Justice in Interactions with Juveniles
Excerpt from website
This webinar will describe recent research demonstrating the particular salience of procedural justice to juveniles, a group that has frequent contact with the criminal justice system and whose orientation toward the law is still being established. Presenters will discuss how criminal justice actors can use the insights of this research to improve their legitimacy in the eyes of young people in their communities.
Presenters:
Tom Tyler is the Macklin Fleming Professor of Law and Professor of Psychology at Yale Law School. He is also a professor (by courtesy) at the Yale School of Management. Professor Tyler’s research explores the role of justice in shaping people’s relationships with groups, organizations, communities, and societies. In particular, he examines the role of judgments about the justice or injustice of group procedures in shaping legitimacy, compliance, and cooperation.
Tracey Meares is the Walton Hale Hamilton Professor and Director of the Justice Collaboratory at Yale Law School. Professor Meares’s teaching and research interests focus on criminal procedure and criminal law policy with a particular emphasis, at the moment, on policing.
Learning Objectives:
~ Understand the concept of procedural justice as it relates to trust between communities and the criminal justice system.
~ Understand the implications of procedural justice for public safety.
~ Gain knowledge of the implementation goals of National Initiative in the areas of procedural justice in each of its six pilot sites.
