Abstract: We explore criminal justice workers' (CJW) support for due process reforms in policing. We build on and integrate four related literatures—scholarship analyzing 1) process-based regulation, 2) the generality of procedural justice, 3) the bilateral and dialogical nature of legitimacy, and 4) the tensions between the due process versus crime control models of criminal justice. We hypothesize that when citizens exercise procedural justice in their decisions about how to respond to legal authorities' inquiries and directives it enhances “rights legitimacy” and increases CJW's support for the due process model of criminal justice.
