Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
The ongoing strain in the relationship between the public and the institutions of the criminal justice system continues to underscore the practical implications of scholarship on the cutting edge of legitimacy theory. This panel continues a discussion started in a thematic panel at ASC in 2017 and seeks to explore applications and understandings of various aspects of this theoretical perspective with the overarching goal of refining legitimacy theory and advancing the scientific foundation necessary for improving and protecting the relationship between the criminal justice system and the public it serves. Our four talks will push the scholarly literature by addressing the context of legitimacy. The panel will conclude with comments from a discussant who will position these papers against each other and within the broader legitimacy literature.
