Abstract
Purpose-This chapter seeks to illuminate the interconnectedness of procedural justice, use of force, and occupational culture in relation to police legitimacy. Methodology/approach-The authors review the existing literature and offer an integrated methodological approach that would better assist researchers in their quest to enhance police legitimacy. Findings-Using a systematic design that assesses police legitimacy from a variety of sources has the potential to help answer critical questions with regard to improving police practice. Originality/value-This is a novel study approach, which has yet to be implemented but which may offer great insight with respect to improving police legitimacy.
