Duties for Justice
Cicero's general account of the duties of justice (Justitia) has two parts. Justice requires not
doing any harm to anyone, unless provoked by a wrongful act. This is how Cicero thinks
fundamentally about justice and injustice.
Two parts of Justice
Justice
is the concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, fairness, religion
and/or equity? Justice is the result of the fair and proper administration of law.
Injustice applies to any act that involves unfairness to another or violation of one’s
rights. The injustices suffered by the lower classes. Injury applies in law specifically to an
injustice for which one may sue to recover compensation. Libel constitutes a legal injury.
This article points out that there are four different types of justice:
1. Distributive (determining who gets what) concerns the socially just allocation of resources.
Often contrasted with just process, which is concerned with the administration of
law, distributive justice concentrates on outcomes.
2. Procedural (determining how fairly people are treated) focuses on the way police and
other legal authorities interact with the public, and how the characteristics of those
interactions shape the public’s views of the police, their willingness to obey the law, and
actual crime rates.
3. Retributive (based on punishment for wrong-doing) response to criminal behavior that
focuses on the punishment of lawbreakers and the compensation of victims. In general,
the severity of the punishment is proportionate to the seriousness of the crime.
4. Restorative (which tries to restore relationships to “rightness.”) Restorative justice
refers to “an approach to justice that seeks to repair harm by providing an opportunity
for those harmed and those who take responsibility for the harm to communicate about
and address their needs in the aftermath of a crime.
