“…If this were the case horizontal norm transmission could be taking place through proximity and access to the state legal system, but it is outweighed by other factors. Of course, another explanation is that the criminal law produces countervailing effects as suggested by Carbonara, Parisi, and Wangenheim (2012).…”

“…In this regard, Strathern (: 13) also suggests that disputes in ethnically diverse environments are more likely to lead to “violence or threats of violence.” If this were the case horizontal norm transmission could be taking place through proximity and access to the state legal system, but it is outweighed by other factors. Of course, another explanation is that the criminal law produces countervailing effects as suggested by Carbonara, Parisi, and Wangenheim ().…”

“…Aldashev et al (: 798) stress that even if formal state courts are not used, their mere presence “can actually pull custom in its direction” through the threat of one of the disputants resorting to it—which they label the magnet effect. Indeed, Merry (: 943), in noting that only a small portion disputes make it to court concludes that “compliance depends largely on individual consciousness of law.” However, others such as Bicchieri () have highlighted the resilience of norms, while Carbonara, Parisi, and Wangenheim () even suggest that increases in the strictness of laws that run counter to social norms may actually lead to countervailing effects that can reinforce them.…”

This article investigates beliefs concerning the legitimacy of the traditional customary practice of payback in the New Guinea Islands; a practice that has been illegal for more than a century. The practice of payback is described and contextualized and a conceptual framework of norm internalization in a legal transplant society is developed. The empirical results highlight a stark urbanrural divide in attitudes. Yet, against expectations, those in urban environments (and in closer proximity to the state criminal law) are more likely to agree with the use of payback. An expected relationship is found between the ability to speak English and not agreeing with the use of payback. The empirical results suggest that the criminal law may be a weak force and that nonlegal channels may be more effective in transforming society.

“…Una posible explicación a los hallazgos, en atención a la obligatoriedad del servicio militar en jóvenes, es reconocer que una regla legal, como la Ley 1861(Congreso de la República de Colombia, 2017), que afecta la autonomía de los individuos y su libertad de elegir puede llegar a tener una influencia negativa en el cumplimiento de tal regla, esto debido a que la creencia de los individuos en la legitimidad del sistema legal es un factor importante que incide en la observancia de las disposiciones que lo integran (Rodríguez & Abusada, 2014). De esta manera, cuando un individuo protesta o desobedece una regla, revela determinados valores al resto de participantes lo cual puede reforzar el disgusto de otros hacia la misma ley incrementándose de esta forma su inobservancia y las reacciones a ésta (Carbonara, Parisi & Wangenheim, 2012) De igual manera, se halló una correlación positiva entre conductas delictivas e impulsividad, siendo acorde a lo postulado por Romero et al (2001) al indicar que la impulsividad aparece asociada a factores que tienen poder predictivo sobre la conducta antisocial y delictiva, debido a que los jóvenes impulsivos presentan dificultades en la resolución de problemas y la toma de decisiones, en la demora de la gratificación y en tener una perspectiva temporal a largo plazo que les ayudaría a prestar atención a las consecuencias de sus conductas.…”

“…Dažreiz taisnīga mērķa sasniegšanai likumos ir paredzēti neatbilstoši līdzekļi. Šādos gadījumos indivīdi var saskarties ar valsts pavēlēm vai aizliegumiem, kas ir pretrunā ar viņu taisnīguma izjūtu [5]. Šī ir likumdevējam bīstama situācija, jo spēcīgā reakcija uz netaisnību var izraisīt sabiedrības protestus un masu nemierus, respektīvi, gan valsts varas, gan likumu leģitimitāte var tikt apšaubīta.…”

Tiesiskā apziņa un tiesiskais nihilisms

Tiesiskās apziņas un tiesiskā nihilisma problēmjautājumi ir savstarpēji saistīti un visnotaļ aktuāli gan pasaules, gan arī Latvijas Republikas tiesiskajā telpā. Pētījums “Tiesiskā apziņa un tiesiskais nihilisms” ir veltīts šo fenomenu analīzei. Tiesiskā apziņa ne tikai ļauj izzināt, bet arī nodrošina parādību, lietu un pieredzes apkopošanu, novērtēšanu un reproducēšanu, kas neapšaubāmi ietekmē subjekta rīcību – indivīdam ir iespēja koriģēt savus mērķus atbilstoši tiesiskajai situācijai. Tomēr šo īpašību ievērojami var ietekmēt vispārpieņemto morāles normu un tikumisko vērtību noliegums, negatīva attieksme pret rakstītām un nerakstītām tiesību normām. Veicot pētījumu, uzmanība tika pievērsta ne tikai tiesiskās apziņas līmeņa izzināmības metodoloģijai, bet arī citiem būtiskiem momentiem, piemēram, likumu uztverei sabiedrībā, juridiskajai kultūrai, tiesiskajam nihilismam, tiesībpārkāpuma un noziedzīgā nodarījuma savstarpējai saiknei un nošķirtībai u. tml. Pētījuma rezultātā tika secināts, ka apziņas paradigmas un tiesiskās apziņas paradigmas (laiks, telpa, cilvēks) ir savstarpēji cieši saistītas. Lai tiesiskā nihilisma iespējamie pretstati – ideālisms, reālisms, konformisms – kļūtu par cilvēka izvēles motīvu, ir nepieciešams kontekstualizēt tiesiskuma problēmu kā ideju, turklāt projicēt šo ideju uz indivīda un sabiedrības iekšējiem psiholoģiskajiem uzstādījumiem. Vienlaikus jāņem vērā, ka nihilisms per se (arī eksistenciālais nihilisms un tiesiskais nihilisms) akcentē cilvēka sociālo nestabilitāti. Kultūrapziņu sadursme, mūsdienīgie realitātes uztveres un realitātes noliegšanas procesi ļauj secināt, ka tiesiskā nihilisma izpausmes pauž nevis tiesiskās apziņas deformēšanu, bet gan tiesiskās apziņas neizbēgamo evolūciju. Šo apsvērumu dēļ tiesiskā nihilisma mazināšanas iespējas saistās ne tik daudz ar ideoloģiju, kā ar tiesiskuma brīvprātīgu akceptēšanu, kuru ietekmē sociālā, ekonomiskā un tehniskā realitāte, sabiedriskās un kultūras dzīves situatīvā saistība. The purpose of this research is to identify peculiarities of legal consciousness and Legal nihilism. It is an active research field attracting growing numbers of scholars worldwide. In order to have a clear understanding of the practical and legal implications of the topic, a more than usually detailed summary of the extensive and complicated findings is needed. The author of the paper explorese relevance of self-esteem, happiness and fear, truth and justice, responsibility, and self-control in the context of these issues separately. It can be assumed that legal consciousness in its deepest beginnings is the instinctive will of justice. Legal consciousness is always formed on the basis of subjective attitude; therefore, a lasting, self-affirming legal consciousness can be formed only as a result of neutral analysis of the surrounding reality. Repressive punishment, threats and propaganda cannot undermine legal nihilism. On the contrary, by abandoning the principle of state supremacy and excessive bureaucracy, people should be able to respect state structures and trust the state on voluntary basis. Trust is the basis of legitimacy, but trust in state power arises only when state power is competent, reasonable, effective and fair. Sense of injustice promotes legal nihilism. The problem of legal consciousness and legal nihilism is closely related to the subject’s inner sense of justice, which is constantly evolving within the family and at school, in the workplace and in general public, at the micro level and in participatory processes. It is important that the individual’s own perceptions and experiences show that self-control and legal awareness are integral parts of a correct, good and modern lifestyle.
