The Effect of the Efficiency of Police Role and the Model of its Relationship with the Prosecution Office on Increasing the Iranian Judiciary Social Capital

The lack of social capital in the judiciary system means the citizens' distrust of the justice of that institution and, consequently, the lack of public cooperation with its officials and agents. The increase in the number of crimes and their repetition and the violations of laws indicate a decrease in the social capital of the judiciary within a society. The present article seeks to logically analyze the related documents and use the previous research to examine the dimensions of the efficient model of police-prosecution office relations in order to find solutions to increase the judiciary social capital. This article concludes that the restoration of the judicial police helps increase the social capital. We suggest that attention might be paid to the improvement of the law enforcement organization's relationship with prosecutor’s office in the form of network communication in the process of judicial reform. It is also recommended that the prosecutor’s office employ the capacities of the network communication model in its relationship with its related judicial police and show more flexibility in the hierarchical model.
