Journal of Criminal Justice, 2023, vol. 86, issue C

Abstract: This study empirically evaluates a normative obligation to obey the police scale that was introduced by Pósch et al. (2021) to address problems with traditional obligation measures. The objective is twofold: (1) to assess the measurement qualities of the scale, and (2) to test the scale's direct and mediating effects on theoretically-relevant variables.
