Exploring the sanction–crime relationship through a lens of procedural justice

Journal of Criminal Justice, 2015, vol. 43, issue 6, 470-479

Abstract: Research overwhelmingly explores “kinds of people” as moderators of the sanction–crime relationship (Piquero et al., 2011). This work, on the other hand, focuses on the sanction experience and draws upon the procedural justice doctrine and key ideas in Sherman's (1993, 2014) defiance theory to test whether individual evaluations of procedural justice condition the effect of legal sanctions on subsequent criminal behavior.
