| Abstract (English): |
This article discusses a study conducted in the Netherlands that examines the relationship between probation officer procedural justice, low self-control, and recidivism. The study found that both procedural justice and low self-control are significantly associated with recidivism. However, there is no interaction between self-control and procedural justice, indicating that the impact of perceived fairness on recidivism does not vary based on self-control levels. The findings suggest that procedural justice can improve outcomes for individuals on probation, even among those at higher risk. The study collected data through interviews with individuals in pre-trial detention and post-release interviews, and the results showed that 28% of respondents were reconvicted. The study used linear probability models to analyze the data and found that higher levels of procedural justice experienced with probation officers were associated with a lower probability of recidivism, while low self-control was positively related to recidivism. These findings have implications for probation policies and highlight the importance of probation officers engaging in procedurally just practices to reduce recidivism rates. Further research is needed to explore these relationships in different contexts and populations. [Extracted from the article] |
| Abstract (Lithuanian): |
Purpose: Legal authorities who engage in procedurally just practices may reduce the likelihood of people offending, while low self‐control is a known risk factor for offending. Methods: Using data from the Prison Project, this study examines whether self‐control conditions the impact of perceived probation officer procedural justice on recidivism for people on probation in the Netherlands. Results: Controlling for demographics and criminal history, procedural justice and low self‐control were both significantly associated with recidivism in the theoretically expected directions. However, no interaction was found between self‐control and procedural justice, suggesting the relationship between perceived fairness and recidivism does not significantly differ across levels of self‐control. Conclusions: The findings support the generality of procedural justice effects on compliance, regardless of individual traits. In practice, procedural justice may improve outcomes even among people at higher risk on probation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
