Procedural justice is backed by decades of academic research and has been strongly shaped by the work of Tom R. Tyler, Macklin Fleming Professor of Law and Psychology at the Yale Law School and one of the Founding Directors of the Justice Collaboratory. At the Justice Collaboratory, members and staff have undertaken a variety of projects involving the study of procedural justice in both legal and community settings. Examples of these studies include our work for the New York City Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice1, Facebook2 and the MacArthur Foundation3.
