That’s not usually very important because a combination of context and common sense will tend to make it clear which use is intended. It would be problematic only if somebody were incapable of understanding everyday speech or the basics of the law. Even that probably wouldn’t matter unless it were some body – such as a police force – given particular powers on the grounds that it understood such basic distinctions. The Herald (Scotland) 14/9/2018 Feature, Opinion Mapping Repeated Interviews The present study introduces an adaptation of the Griffiths Question Map (GQM; Griffiths and Milne 2006) which extends the chronological, visual map of question types used in an investigative interview to include child interviewee’s responses (through the addition of the Interview Answer Grid, IAG). Furthermore, it provides a rare evaluation of repeated interviews with children. From a sample of transcripts of Scottish repeated interviews with child victims, two ‘good’ and two ‘poor’ first interviews were chosen based on interviewer question types. First and second investigative interviews of these four children were mapped using the GQM and IAG in order to examine across the two interviews the similarity of interviewer and interviewee behaviours and the consistency and investigative-relevance of information provided. Both ‘good’ and ‘poor’ interviews were found to include practices discouraged by interviewing guidelines, which would not have been identified by examining question proportions alone.

Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology - Registration at source 14/9/2018 Research article Procedural Justice Perceptions, Legitimacy Beliefs, and Compliance With the Law: A Meta-Analysis The purpose of this study was to compare procedural justice and legitimacy as correlates and predictors of compliance with the law. A literature review produced 64 studies, 95 samples, and 196 effect sizes from studies published or conducted sometime between 1990 and February 2018 in which procedural justice was correlated with legitimacy and/or compliance, or legitimacy was correlated with compliance. Fifty samples included all 3 correlations, 3 samples included 2 correlations, and the remaining 42 samples included a single correlation. Two random effects meta-analyses were performed. The current findings suggest that legitimacy beliefs are instrumental in promoting compliance with the law and that while procedural justice perceptions also appear to predict compliance, the effect was relatively weak in this meta-analysis and could not be reliably established in longitudinal datasets.
