“…It has already been noted that sanctions shape behavior. Yasrebi-De Kom et al (2022), however, find that the impact of sanctions interacts with procedural justice. More severe sanctions influence deterrence, but only if they are paired with procedural justice.…”

This Element presents the history, research, and future potential for an alternative and effective model of policing called 'legitimacy-based policing'. This model is driven by social psychology theory and informed by research findings showing that legitimacy of the police shapes public acceptance of police decisions, willingness to cooperate with the police, and citizen engagement in communities. Police legitimacy is found to be strongly tied to the level of fairness exercised by police authority, i.e. to procedural justice. Taken together these two ideas create an alternative framework for policing that relies upon the policed community's willing acceptance of and cooperation with the law. Studies show that this framework is as effective in lowering crime as the traditional carceral paradigm, an approach that relies on the threat or use of force to motivate compliance. It is also more effective in motivating willing cooperation and in encouraging people to engage in their communities in ways that promote social, economic and political development. We demonstrate that adopting this model benefits police departments and police officers as well as promoting community vitality.

“…Recent studies, however, raise the possibility that sanctions can be used without damaging legitimacy, if the sanctions are deployed through procedures that people evaluate as being just (Verboon & van Dijke, 2011; Yasrebi-De Kom et al, 2022). This suggests that we could use sanctions in ways that do not undermine and maybe even increase legitimacy.…”

This article reviews the contributions of social/organizational psychology to social reform in the area of law and legal institutions. Social/organizational psychology provides theoretical models for legal authority based on popular legitimacy, something that is created and maintained when laws are created and when legal authority is implemented through just procedures. This alternative model provides a contrast to the generally dominant deterrence model and, when adopted, leads to a more desirable relationship between community members and legal authorities because it motivates not only compliance but also cooperation with legal authorities and community engagement.

“…Many studies note the positive influence of procedural justice on public trust in police and satisfaction with their work (Pryce & Wilson, 2020;Graham et al, 2020). This is also related to individuals who have committed a crime, thus, procedural justice can contribute to order improvement in correctional institutions (Maguire et al, 2021;Yasrebi-De Kom et al, 2022) and, probably, prevent the repetition of the crime. Some works doubt such a view (Nagin & Telep, 2020).…”

Criminality is one of the most pressing issues, and it requires solving and developing a democratic state governed by the rule of law. At the same time, the reform implementation process, which could positively influence criminality rate reduction, is complex and long-lasting. The study aims to determine the main trends and principles of reforming criminal-procedure legislation in Moldova and determine its influence on the criminality rate. The study used a legalistic method, statistical method, and descriptive method. Based on the study’s results, the key tendencies and principles of reforming criminal-procedure legislation in Moldova were characterised. The main ones are the harmonisation of legislation with the norms of the European Union and humanisation. Statistical analysis of the criminality rate in Moldova was conducted, and some positive tendencies were outlined. In particular 2023, 7.7 thousand fewer crimes were registered compared to 2019. At the same time, evaluation of the dynamics of the criminality rate indicates the preservation of the high criminality rate. Based on the study’s results, analytical conclusions were presented, and some recommendations concerning further trends in reforming criminal-procedure legislation were formed.
