Listening Session—
Building Trust & Legitimacy
Decades of research and practice support the
premise that people are more likely to obey the law
when they believe that those who are enforcing it
have the legitimate authority to tell them what to do.
Procedurally, just behavior is based on four central
principles:
1. Treating people with dignity and respect.
2. Giving individuals ‘voice’ during encounters.
3. Being neutral and transparent in decision making.
4. Conveying trustworthy motives.
WHAT IS ‘COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ’?
Community engagement is regularly misinterpreted as
relating solely to consultation and asking for public
opinion. In fact, it goes much further and relates to having
an open dialogue with the community.
• ‘Community’ defined - relates to either a group of
people in a particular geographical locality, or a group
who share a ‘community’ of interest. For example, a
faith-based group. One individual may be part of
numerous communities.
• ‘Engagement’ defined - the involvement of the public,
or communities, in making decisions on policies or
service delivery and what each can mutually contribute
to enhance the quality-of-life in the location.
