PÅVERKAR DISKRIMINERING ETNISKA MINORITETERS TILLIT TILL RÄTTSVÄSENDET? : En kvantitativ studie på landnivå / Does discrimination affect ethnic minorities' trust in the judiciary?

Andersson, Frida, Björnehall, Moa January 2021 (has links)
This paper presents a quantitative study of trust in the Swedish judiciary among minority and majority ethnic groups in Sweden. Using data from European Social Survey, with 1539 Swedish respondents,the aim of the study is to examine how factors such as belonging to a minority ethnic group,discrimination and gender affects the trust in the legal system and the police. Other variables included are age, social trust, and level of education. Previous research suggests that minority ethnic groups have lower levels of trust in the police and legal system, and that discrimination directly affects the level oftrust negatively. By examining these factors using multivariate regression analysis, this thesis seeks toexplain how these mechanisms together have the effect on the correlation between ethnicity and trustin the judiciary. The theoretical framework of the study is mainly the procedural justice model. Furthermore, an intersectional analysis is uses to examine the effect of gender and ethnicity combined.The results of the study suggest that there is no correlation between belonging to a minority ethnic groupand trust in the judiciary. However, being subjected to ethnic discrimination has shown to be the factor that affects the trust the most, even when the other variables are controlled for. It has also been shown that gender has an impact on the effect of ethnicity on trust in the judiciary where women of ethnic minorities tend to have lower levels of trust than men of ethnic minorities do. In addition to that, nosignificant results regarding the effect of gender discrimination and trust were found. Finally, this studyconcludes that ethnic discrimination affects the trust negatively, regardless of the other variables. Recommendations for future studies of discrimination and intersectionality are discussed.
