“…Figure 1 shows the enforcement pyramid as developed by the Australian Tax Office (ATO), which contains the motivational postures aforementioned (Braithwaite 2007). The pyramid shows the motivational posture of an individual, that is signals that indicate their liking for the authorities (Braithwaite 2014), on the left. The middle segment of the pyramid indicates how the regulation is enforced for individuals with a specific motivational posture.…”

Country‐by‐Country Reporting and Automatic Exchange of Information have recently been implemented in European Union (EU) countries. These international tax reforms increase tax compliance in the short term. In the long run, however, taxpayers will continue looking abroad to avoid taxation and, countries, looking for additional revenues, will provide opportunities. As a result, tax competition intensifies and the initial increase in compliance could reverse. To avoid international tax reforms being counteracted by tax competition, this paper suggests bilateral responsive regulation to maximize compliance. This implies that countries would use different tax policy instruments toward other countries, including tax and secrecy havens. Our agent‐based simulation finds that a differentiated policy response could increase tax compliance by 6.54 percent, which translates into an annual increase of €105 billion in EU tax revenues on income, profits, and capital gains. Corporate income tax revenues in France, Spain, and the UK alone would already account for €35 billion.

“…Motivational postures are a composite of values and beliefs about authority that are held by individuals and used by them to position themselves relationally with regulatory authorities. Her findings reveal that institutional practices can generate defiance and provoke reactivity and thereby undermine a person's capacities and willingness to cooperate in settings as varied as family, school, work, child protection and governance (Braithwaite, 2013;Braithwaite, Murphy, Reinhart, 2007). Her work has profound implications for how we develop cultures that build relationally from trust and shared social values and support addressing conflict and injustice as part of the ongoing relational work that all groups need to be able to do..…”

The human services are fraught with history of failure related to grasping oversimplified, across-the-board solutions that are expected to work in all situations for all groups of people. This article reviews some of the long-standing and current challenges for governance of programmes in maintaining cultures that safeguard restorative and responsive standards, principles and values, thereby amplifying and enhancing their centrality to relational engagement within families, groups, communities and organisations. Despite their potential for helping groups of people grapple with the complex dynamics that impact their lives, restorative justice approaches are seen as no less vulnerable to being whittled down to technical routines through practitioner and sponsor colonisation than other practices. This article explores some of the ways culture can work to erode and support the achievement of restorative standards, and why restorative justice and regulation that is responsive to the ongoing experiences of affected persons offers unique paths forward for achieving justice. Included in this exploration are the ways that moral panic and top-down, command-and-control management narrow relational approaches to tackling complex problems and protect interests that reproduce social and economic inequality.

“…Rather than avoiding authority's demands, there is pleasure in finding ways to redefine or "turn around" the rules. In general, postures are flexible and not mutually exclusive: individuals can adopt more than one position towards authorities, and these can vary depending on circumstances (Braithwaite, 2014;.…”

This article addresses the critical issue of citizens' attitudes toward law enforcement, focusing on motivational postures towards the police (i.e., the psychological dispositions that individuals maintain towards the police). The study contributes by providing the first validated motivational postures scale towards the police in Spanish. It responds to a gap in research on motivational postures within Spanish-speaking societies and the absence of properly validated scales in both English and Spanish. Using two independent online panel samples from Chile, exploratory (Study 1, n = 1,163) and confirmatory (Study 2, n = 770) factor analyses were conducted refining a scale that initially proposed five postures (commitment, capitulation, resistance, disengagement, game-playing). Surprisingly, a sixth posture, termed "avoidance", emerged in Study 1, reflecting a physical-behavioral dimension of distancing from the police. The scale with six motivational postures dimensions was validated with satisfactory results, evidenced by favorable fit indices. Concurrently validated, the scale exhibited correlations with positive and negative emotions towards the police, procedural justice, legitimacy and identification with the police. However, divergent validation results were unexpected, revealing correlations between trait aggressiveness and motivational postures, possibly influenced by the context of heightened police repression. Given the relevance of citizen-police dynamics in democratic societies, this research offers insights crucial for reducing conflict and violence between citizens and the police. Future studies are encouraged to explore the contextual relevance of the avoidance dimension, replicate divergent validity analyses using alternative variables, and validate the scale in other Spanish-speaking contexts.
