All recorded “knife crimes” in the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) area of London in the financial year 2016–2017 (year 1) were manually reviewed to identify all 3506 reported locations of knife-enabled (KE) but nonfatal injuries, as distinct from other events digitally coded as “knife crimes”, such as displaying, threatening with, or carrying knives. All KE homicides in 2017–2018 (year 2) were then added to the database. Each KE injury assault in year 1 was classified for occurrence in one of London’s 4835 LSOAs. The total N of such crimes within each LSOA was summed across all records to divide all LSOAs into seven categories of frequency of KE injury assaults in 2016/2017: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 or more.

This paper relies on a survey of police officers from Croatia, an East-European country in transition, and expands the model by incorporating the potential effect of the police officers’ support for community policing on the fair treatment of citizens. Our model, based on the data from a 2017 survey of 638 Croatian police officers, demonstrated that the latent variable internal procedural justice had a modest, positive association with trust in the public, while the latent variable of community policing values did not have a significant association with trust in the public. The antecedent variable community policing values serves as the model’s strongest predictor of external procedural justice.
