Panel Discussion: Every Contact Leaves a Trace – Procedural Justice in Action
This panel will explore the tenets and importance of procedural justice through the lens of practical applications of the theory. The contacts police have with the public can be short or long, they can be in-person or digital. One message remains the same – the use of appropriate communication strategies with that person or community is vital and procedural justice provides an evidence-based framework for this to occur. Every contact police have with the community leaves a trace and every contact is an opportunity to leave that person, that community, with a better impression of police and policing.
