Procedural justice and the mental health court judge's role in reducing recidivism.

Authors:
Heathcote W Wales Virginia Aldigé Hiday Bradley Ray

Int J Law Psychiatry 2010 Sep-Oct;33(4):265-71. Epub 2010 Jul 24.

Georgetown University Law Center, United States.

Based on qualitative observation and quantitative data from eight mental health courts (MHCs), this article argues that observed reductions in recidivism from participation in MHC are caused in part by the role of the judge in conveying elements of procedural justice. Specifically, the judge provides: (1) a heightened level of interpersonal treatment of participants that accords them dignity, respect, and voice; (2) accountability for participants and service providers alike; and (3) transparency for decisions reached through an open negotiation process. Procedural justice theory predicts that participants will thereby be more likely to see legal decisions as legitimate and incorporate the court's values and goals as their own. Preliminary qualitative and quantitative data are presented from interviews of a sample of participants in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia's Mental Health Diversion Court (DCMHDC) that support these hypotheses. DCMHDC participants hold strongly positive views about the procedural justice they receive from their court experience and of the judge's role in providing justice.

Authors:
Hassane Gharbi Nadir Aliane Khaled A Al Falah Abu Elnasr E Sobaih

Int J Environ Res Public Health 2022 Apr 24;19(9). Epub 2022 Apr 24.

This research aims to test the impact of procedural justice on employees' turnover intention via their intention to stay or give up their positions by putting social influence in the spotlight as a mediating variable. Although the topic dealing with the relationship linking organizational justice to turnover intention has taken some wrinkles, there has been no published research, to the best of researchers' knowledge, that integrates social influence as a mediating variable between the aforementioned relationships. A questionnaire survey was administered to 558 employees working in a renowned banking institution located in the capital city of Tunis, Tunisia. Read More

The many metaphysical commitments of secular clinical ethics: Expanding the argument for a moral-metaphysical proceduralism.

Authors:
Abram Brummett Jason T Eberl

Bioethics 2022 May 9. Epub 2022 May 9.

Albert Gnaegi Center for Health Care Ethics, Saint Louis University, St Louis, Missouri.

The rich moral diversity of academic bioethics poses a paradox for the practice of giving moral recommendations in secular clinical ethics: How are ethicists to provide moral guidance in a pluralistic society? The field has responded to this challenge with a "procedural approach," but defining this term stirs debate. Some have championed a contentless proceduralism, where ethicists work only to help negotiate resolutions among stakeholders without making any moral recommendations. Others have defended a moral proceduralism by claiming that ethicists should make moral recommendations that are grounded in bioethical consensus (e. Read More
