Abstract
We began this book with the intention of presenting a picture of the advances in the study of procedural justice that have occurred in the decade since Thibaut and Walker published their book on the topic. We have considered the work that Thibaut and Walker themselves drew upon, as well as more recent studies on the perceived fairness of legal, political, and organizational procedures. We will now move back from the trees, as it were, and contemplate the forest. In this chapter we consider two questions. First, what conclusions can we reach on the basis of the whole body of procedural justice research? And second, what hypotheses can we advance about topics or phenomena as yet unstudied?
