Abstract [en]

Aim: This study aims to examine the extent to which access to different socio-economic factors explains differences in the degree of trust in the judiciary system, and which factors are of importance for the differences in trust. The socio-economic factors referred to are annual earned income, degree of education, ownership of condominiums, active employment, gender, and age. The questions that will be answered are: What does a covariation between trust in the judiciary system and socio-economic factors look like? What impact do the socio-economic factors have, and which are the important variables that affect trust in the judiciary system? Method: A quantitative method has been used. The data material examined is the Crime Prevention Council's security survey from 2018. To answer the questions at issue, a multiple regression analysis has been made to visualize the covariance between socio-economic factors and trust in the judiciary system. Theories used are the theory of trust (Rothstein, 2003) and the theory about forms of capital (Bourdieu, 1986). Results: The result found is that the socioeconomic factors examined in this study have a covariance towards trust. Important variables that affect trust in the judiciary are post-secondary education and gender, where women and people with a completed post-secondary education have higher trust. These relationships are both relatively strong positives that are of statistical significance and thus can be generalized to the population.
