Sensitivity to the Ferguson Effect: The role of managerial organizational justice

Justin Nix and Scott E. Wolfe

Journal of Criminal Justice, 2016, vol. 47, issue C, 12-20

Abstract: We argue that the police have been adversely impacted by Ferguson-related negative publicity in ways beyond the supposed increase in crime (e.g., reduced motivation and increased perception of danger). Further, we suggest that organizational justice is a key factor that influences officers' sensitivity to such Ferguson Effects.
