“…In so doing, we sought to create firm ground from which other scholars can effectively and efficiently engage with and build upon the state of the science. We are therefore excited and humbled by the engagement of six experts working in this area who responded to our work in three peer commentaries that collectively represent exactly the kind of conversation we hoped to facilitate (Blount‐Hill & Gau, 2022; Jackson & Bradford, 2022; Trinkner & Reisig, 2022). Below, we distill their rich insights into key criticisms.…”

In our target article (Hamm et al., Legal and Criminological Psychology, 2022), we propose a Concentric Diagram of Legitimacy as an organizing tool for legitimacy theory. In so doing, we hoped to stimulate a scholarly discussion about the state of the literature and the best avenues for pushing past the field’s current intellectual plateau. Six experts took us up on this call and provided three commentaries that push our thinking but, more importantly, identify important opportunities for advancing legitimacy theory. In our response here, we distil their rich insights into key criticisms which then lead to opportunities for future research.

Objectives To systematically review the effect of social identity and social contexts on the association between procedural justice and legitimacy in policing. Methods A meta-analysis synthesising data from 123 studies (N = 200,966) addressing the relationship between procedural justice and legitimacy in policing. Random effects univariate and two-stage structural equation modelling meta-analyses were performed. Results Both procedural justice and social identity are found to be significantly correlated with police legitimacy. Moreover, social identity significantly mediates, but does not moderate, the association between procedural justice and legitimacy. People of younger age and from more developed countries tend to correlate procedural justice stronger with police legitimacy. Conclusion This study demonstrates that social identity is an important antecedent of legitimacy and a critical factor in the dynamics of procedural fairness in policing. It also shows that the extent to which procedural justice and legitimacy are correlated varies across social groups and contexts. The theoretical implications of our findings are discussed.
