“ Procedural Justice” is a concept that seeks to highlight the importance of the quality of treatment given by public servants in general, and in particular by those who have the authority to use force. It also emphasizes the importance of procedural elements and the relationships developed between citizens and authorities for the quality of decisions and the perceived legitimacy of institutions in the eyes of citizens in general and those who become part of legal processes in particular.
Procedural Justice therefore refers to a set of measures that seek to make procedures perceived as fair based on four components: being fair in processes; being transparent in actions; providing opportunities to express oneself; and being impartial in decision-making.
