Most-cited papers in Policing A Journal of Policy and Practice

Procedural Justice, Trust, and Institutional Legitimacy

Michael Hough, Jonathan Jackson, Ben Bradford et al. · 4 Jul 2010

This paper summarizes ‘procedural justice’ approaches to policing, contrasting these to the more politically dominant discourse about policing as crime control. It argues that public trust in policing is needed partly because this may result in public cooperation with justice, but more importantly because public trust in justice builds institutional legitimacy and thus public compliance…

Counting them as if they are fosters distortion of risk assessments, resource allocation, and accountability. To solve this problem, Sherman (2007 , 2010 , 2011 and 2013 ) has offered…

Police Culture and Gender: Revisiting the ‘Cult of Masculinity’

Marisa Silvestri · 9 Dec 2016

The ‘cult of masculinity’ has received much attention as a persistent and negative feature of police culture, with its impacts repeatedly being drawn upon to make sense of women’s lack of progression and representation within policing. This article argues that such analyses remain locked into overly simplistic and reductionist accounts of how women and men…
