Procedural Justice Module 3 post test
Your police department wants to institute a hot spot policing program that targets a specific crime problem in a specific neighborhood. There are multiple anecdotal reports that this type of crime is rampant, but there is little data to back this up. The 911 calls are sparse and the community seems disinterested in communicating with the police.
Examine this problem through the lens of procedural justice: why might there be so few 911 calls for help? Why might the community be reluctant to communicate with the police?
What would you do to institute a hot spot policing program at this location? Describe specific pillars of procedural justice and how they might relate to different types of police/community partnerships.
Submit your response in 12 point type with a length of 600-1000 words.
