“…The importance of political accountability and trust is also studied by Martinez-Bravo and Sanz (2023) in the Spain. Interestingly, Bird et al (2023) find that, in Latin America, political trust predicted less compliance (more mobility), unlike in high-income countries. 68 Bargain and Aminjonov (2020) use a double difference approach around the time of lockdown announcements in Europe, and find that high-trust regions decrease their mobility related to non-necessary activities significantly more than low-trust regions.…”

We provide a framework to disentangle the role of preferences and beliefs in health behavior, and we apply it to compliance behavior during the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using rich data on subjective expectations collected during the spring 2020 lockdown in the UK, we estimate a simple model of compliance behavior with uncertain costs and benefits, which we employ to quantify the utility trade-offs underlying compliance, to decompose group differences in compliance plans, and to compute the monetary compensation required for people to comply. We find that, on average, individuals assign the largest disutility to passing away from COVID-19 and being caught transgressing, and the largest utility to preserving their mental health. But we also document substantial heterogeneity in preferences and/or expectations by vulnerability status, gender, and other individual characteristics. In our data, both preferences and expectations matter for explaining gender differences in compliance, whereas compliance differences by vulnerability status are mainly driven by heterogeneity in preferences. We also investigate the relationship between own and others' compliance. When others fail to comply and trust breaks down, individuals respond heterogeneously depending on their own circumstances and characteristics. When others around them comply less, those with higher risk tolerance and those without prior COVID-19 experience plan to comply less themselves, while the vulnerables plan to comply more. When a high-level public figure breaches the rules, supporters of the opposing political party plan to comply less. These findings emphasize the need for public health policies to account for heterogenous beliefs, preferences, and responses to others in citizens' health behaviors.

Children are a vulnerable group with the potential to face the law. Children who conflict with the law then experience multiple levels of vulnerability due to their inability to develop themselves without restrictions and stigmatization from society. Globally, children in conflict with the law have been instructed to get the opportunity for restorative justice, namely justice intended to protect the interests of children. Indonesia has also established restorative justice through a diversion policy scheme. However, to date, this diversion policy has yet to be fully implemented due to a lack of legitimacy from the community and a lack of operational resources. Therefore, researchers feel that research on this issue is essential because of its significant impact on legal reform objectives in Indonesia. This research used the perspective of democracy, trust, and citizenship to accommodate participatory values and obligations in restorative practices. Qualitative methods using critical informant interview data were used in this research. The results are that restorative justice and restorative policies can accommodate democratic practices. However, for their implementation to be more optimal, there needs to be an increase in trust and civic awareness.
