Distrust and Law-Evasion In Iran (Case study: Tehran city)
Social capital is basis of development and stability in every society. Trust is one of the most important social capital indicators. Distrust is signe of erosion of social capital in every society. Erosion of social capital is named as Weak Intergroup objective and subjective relations in society, can issue disorder or law evasion in society. Therefore distrust to other (people and the authorities) about law-obligation can inbreed law-evasion in society. So this article explains distrust effect on law-evasion. In this research is used Putnam and fukuyama theory to analyses social capital erosion. This method is survey research the study population of this study of women and men over 24 years in Tehran. And the data collected by questionnaire from a sample of size 384 people in Tehran. Method of sampling is Multi- stage sampling. After data collecting, research hypotheses examined in two inferential and descriptive levels by Amos and Spss package. Law evasion is divided in two dimensions: objective law-evasion (behavior) and subjective law-evasion (orientation). In contextual variables, it is seen meaningful relation among gender, marriage position, type of job, age, education, economic position with two dimensions of law-evasion. Basic variables in this research with their total effect on dependent variable consist of, civil distrust (0/44), generalized distrust (0/21), disbelieve to law (0/26).Generally, these independent variables(with subjective law-evasion) explain %31 of the dependent variable variance (objective law-evasion).Whereas these variables explain %45 of subjective law-evasion variance. So social capital erosion has more effect on subjective law- evasion (orientation) into objective law-evasion (behavior).hence to support inter group social capital in society can issue revival of law orientations and hence obey the law in society.
