In our target article (Hamm et al., Legal and Criminological Psychology, 2022), we propose a Concentric Diagram of Legitimacy as an organizing tool for legitimacy theory. In so doing, we hoped to stimulate a scholarly discussion about the state of the literature and the best avenues for pushing past the field’s current intellectual plateau. Six experts took us up on this call and provided three commentaries that push our thinking but, more importantly, identify important opportunities for advancing legitimacy theory. In our response here, we distil their rich insights into key criticisms which then lead to opportunities for future research.

突破高原

在我们的目标文章（Hamm 等人，法律和犯罪心理学，2022 年）中，我们提出了合法性同心图作为合法性理论的组织工具。通过这样做，我们希望激发关于文学状况的学术讨论，以及突破该领域当前知识平台的最佳途径。六位专家接听了我们的电话并提供了三篇评论，这些评论推动了我们的思考，但更重要的是，他们确定了推进合法性理论的重要机会。在我们在这里的回应中，我们将他们丰富的见解提炼成关键批评，然后为未来的研究提供机会。
