Open Policing is based on research
The Four Pillars of Procedural Justice
There is a growing body of research on people’s perception of fairness in dealing with law enforcement and public institutions. This research has shown that people’s perception of the quality of police encounters depends less on outcomes, but more on whether they feel treated in a fair or procedurally just way. Research has demonstrated that procedural justice is vital for building trust and increasing legitimacy in policing. Open Policing has integrated these four pillars of procedural justice into our solution to measure, on a national scale, how policing in each community affects public trust.
Voice
People are given a chance to tell their side of the story.
Respect
People are treated with dignity and respect.
Fair
Decisions are based on fair principles and legal rules, not biases or prejudices.
Trust
The officer or agency sincerely tried to consider the needs of the various people to do what’s best.
