This study investigates the prospects of developing an intolerant attitude
towards corruption within society by enhancing legal consciousness and legal culture
among the population. By examining the relationship between legal awareness, civic
education, and anti-corruption sentiment, this research aims to identify key factors that
contribute to fostering a zero-tolerance attitude towards corrupt practices. Using a mixed
methods approach, data were collected from surveys, interviews, and case studies across
various demographic groups. The findings indicate that higher levels of legal consciousness
and a robust legal culture significantly correlate with decreased tolerance for corruption.
Furthermore, the study highlights the pivotal role of educational programs, media
campaigns, and community engagement in cultivating a legally aware and ethically
responsible populace. The implications of these findings suggest that targeted initiatives
aimed at raising legal consciousness can effectively contribute to the eradication of
corruption. This research underscores the importance of a comprehensive strategy that
integrates legal education, public awareness, and institutional reforms to build a corruption
intolerant society.
