Abstract
Individual choice is the most important element in the foundation of economic theory, based on the principle of methodological individualism. Studies of individual choices regarding the answer to the question of compliance with established legal norms are mainly based on a law-centric approach, leaving both the role of social norms and the effects of their internalization out of focus. This paper shows how the conditions of choice and the expected results change if social norms act along with legal norms, as well as in situations where part of social norms turns out to be internalized both by the individual - the object of research, and by individuals interacting with the first. Based on the obtained relations, the question of the effects of errors of the first and second kind in law enforcement is discussed.
