| Abstract: | The article summarizes German research on procedural and distributive justice at criminal courts. The first German field studies
addressing these topics are presented. Procedural justice characteristics like neutrality, courtesy, equal consideration of
evidence, voice, and fairness of procedural rules are relevant for Germans. A study on juvenile prisoners shows no support
for equity theory and some for the Group Value model. Lay assessors receive positive evaluations by juvenile prisoners. |
