Justice in the Community
In a paper of 1,250−1,500 words, compare and contrast justice as you believe it exists now within your community. Define how you
interpret justice to be displayed in the culture today. Does what is observed fit what you believe justice should be? Do you find trust or apprehension when considering our criminal justice system? How would our current retributive style of justice change with the application of a restorative justice model? Do you see this change as positive or negative? Why or why not?
