PROCEDURAL JUSTICE


In this video, procedural justice trainers Charlene L. Moe and  
Lieutenant Leo Daniels of the University of Illinois, Center  
for Public Safety and Justice, discuss procedural justice.

Procedural justice refers to the idea of fairness in the processes that resolve disputes and allocate resources. It is a concept that, when embraced, promotes positive organizational change and bolsters better relationships. Procedural justice speaks to four principles, often referred to as the four pillars:

  • fairness in the processes
  • transparency in actions
  • opportunities for voice
  • impartiality in decision making
