Abstract

The article examines the relationship between police officers' attitudes about procedural justice and their behavior in the field, using data from a multi-site randomized trial of procedural justice training in high-crime areas ("hot spots"). It finds that baseline attitudes do not predict officers' use of procedural justice, but post-training attitudes are linked to observed behavior among trained officers. The study highlights the importance of evaluating both attitudes and behavior to understand the effectiveness of police training programs.
