Abstract: | The study explores the impact of a procedural innovation on justice judgments made by third party observers. The innovation
involved the establishment of a review panel with civilian participants to monitor a police department's investigation of
allegations of misconduct against its officers. The study distinguishes the impact on racial minority observers from that
on racial majority observers. Data suggest that the innovation had a positive, though differing, impact on the justice judgments
of both minority and majority observers. |
