Rate My Professor Natasha Madon

Dr. Natasha Madon serves as a Senior Lecturer in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Griffith University, with an affiliation to the Griffith Criminology Institute. She earned her PhD from the University of Toronto and previously held a postdoctoral research fellowship at Griffith University. Her research centers on the policing of minority communities, procedural justice, police legitimacy, and trust in policing among disengaged groups, including Muslims and immigrants. Madon's work explores how internal police procedural justice climates influence officers' perceptions of external fairness, the role of anticipatory justice in shaping expectations of police treatment, and factors like relative deprivation and stigma in police-minority interactions. She has contributed to evaluations of community programs, such as the South Brisbane District Islamic Youth Program, and studies on promoting community collaboration in counter-terrorism efforts.

Madon's scholarly output includes over 23 peer-reviewed publications, amassing more than 440 citations according to Google Scholar. Key works encompass 'Promoting police legitimacy among disengaged minority groups: Does procedural justice matter more?' (Criminology & Criminal Justice, 2017, with K. Murphy and E. Sargeant), 'Fairness in policing: how does internal procedural justice climate shape officers’ perceptions of external procedural justice?' (Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice, 2024, with J.A. Yesberg et al.), 'Police officers' perceptions of citizens and support for community policing' (Policing & Society, 2026, with M. Pass et al.), 'Anticipatory justice: Exploring expectations of police treatment and trust in police' (Criminology & Criminal Justice, 2025), and 'Police bias and diminished trust in police: a role for procedural justice and stigma' (Policing: An International Journal, 2021, with K. Murphy). She has received funding from the Australian Institute of Criminology for 'Evaluating an intervention for young people engaged in family and relationship violence: Expanding the evidence-base.' Madon convenes courses such as Criminology and Criminal Justice Research Methods (3012CCJ) and Youth, Crime and Justice (2022CCJ). She chairs sessions at international conferences like the Scandinavian Criminology Symposium and participates in professional networks, including the ANZSOC Terrorism and Extremism thematic group, enhancing the field's understanding of procedural fairness in diverse policing contexts.
