Climate Justice : Vulnerability and Protection
The fruit of twenty years of moral reflection on the emerging greatest challenge to humanity of the 21st century, these far-sighted and influential essays by a pioneering practical philosopher on the tangled questions of justice between nations and justice across generations confronting all attempts at international cooperation in controlling climate change sharply crystallize the central choices and offer constructive directions forward.Arguing that persistent attempts by U.S. negotiators to avoid the fundamental issues of justice at the heart of persistent international disagreement on the terms of a binding multilateral treaty are as morally misguided as they are diplomatically counter-productive, Henry Shue has built a case that efforts to price carbon (through cap-and-trade or carbon taxes) as a mechanism to drive down greenhouse gas emissions by the affluent must, for both ethical and political reasons, be complemented by international transfers that temporarily subsidize the development of non-carbon energy and its dissemination to those trapped in poverty.Our vital escape from climate change rooted in the dominance of the fossil fuel regime ought not, and in fact need not, come at the price of de-railing the escape of the world's poorest from poverty rooted in lack of affordable energy that does not undermine the climate.The momentum of changes in the planetary climate system and the political inertia of energy regimes mean that future generations, like the poorest of the present, are vulnerable to our decisions, and they have rights not to be left helpless by those of us with the power instead to leave them hope.

Public Protection and the Criminal Justice Process
This book is a practical and theoretical analysis of public protection and criminal justice.This area has seen immense change in recent years and the book examines the recent legislative, policy and organisational changes and their impact on the various agencies involved, including the police service and the probation service.Public protection has now assumed a position of dominance within the criminal justice agenda.New ways of working have necessitated changes to organisational culture, which in turn has begun to blur traditional criminal justice boundaries.Agencies must now work together by law and the public protection 'family' has extended to include a range of agencies, such as housing and leisure services. This book explores the problematic concept of 'dangerousness' and its application to criminal justice.All recent policy and legislative initiatives are examined within a critical context that questions the need for populist, punitive agendas, for example the creation of MAPPA (Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Panels) and changes in relation to the National Probation Service.Recent relevant legislative references are collated in a useful appendix at the back of the book. The book is a practical and useful reference, ideal reading for students and academics working critically in the area who wish to understand how public protection has reached its present status.It is also a useful reference for probation officers, police officers and policy makers.

'Revenge or Justice?'
Revenge is driven by a desire to inflict harm or suffering on someone in response to a perceived wrongdoing, often without consideration for fairness or due process. Justice, on the other hand, is about restoring balance and fairness by holding individuals accountable for their actions through a fair and impartial legal process. While revenge may provide temporary satisfaction, it often perpetuates a cycle of harm and does not address the root causes of the conflict. Justice, on the other hand, seeks to address the underlying issues and promote healing and reconciliation. Ultimately, justice is a more sustainable and constructive approach to resolving conflicts and addressing wrongdoing.

Justice
A blindfolded woman holding a balance and a sword personifies one of our most significant virtues.We find Lady Justice in statues and paintings that adorn courts and other institutions of law, symbolizing strength and impartiality.Yet why do we valorize this virtue primarily as a quality of societies, and secondly as one of individual character?We can trace the virtue of justice to ancient Greece, where virtue ethics began its long evolution.There justice was seen as one of the most prominent virtues - and arguably the most important of the social virtues.With time, political philosophy diverted focus to understanding justice as a property of societies, and discussion of justice as a virtue of individuals diminished.But justice as a virtue of individual character has, along with the other virtues, reasserted itself not only in philosophy but in social psychology and other empirical fields of study.This volume aims to demonstrate the breadth of that thinking and research.It comprises new essays solicited from philosophers and political theorists, psychologists, economists, biologists, and legal scholars.Each contribution focuses on some aspect of what makes people just, either by examining the science that explains the development of justice as a virtue, by highlighting virtue cultivation within distinctive traditions of empirical or philosophical thought, or by adopting a distinctive perspective on justice as an individual trait.As the volume shows, justice begins with the individual, and flows outward to make just laws and just societies.

Justice
This collection of extracts from works by philosophers, political theorists, and social critics ranges over two millennia, from the ideas of Plato and Aristotle to those of contemporary thinkers such as John Rawls and Robert Nozick, and examines the nature of justice, its importance in human life, and its place among the other virtues. The scope of the collection gives a clear picture of the differences and continuities that have marked the debate: Plato's emphasis on the ideal of `sticking to one's task' contrasts with the modern emphasis on individual rights, while the account of justice as part of the law of nature offered by Aristotle and Cicero contrasts with Hume's analysis of justice as an artificial virtue. Alan Ryan's introductory essay emphasizes the stringency of justice, showing how its demands can conflict with considerations of the general welfare.The book concludes with a discussion of Marx's view that justice is perhaps merely a concession to a world of scarcity and selfishness created by capitalist necessities.This is an essential guide to interpretations of one of the central values of political life and thought.

Justice
A California high-school student, blonde, promiscuous Cheryl Diggs is murdered and the obvious suspect is her fellow student, Chris Whitman.A seemingly straightforward case, especially when it emerges that Whitman is an East Coast mafia chieftain's son - after all, murder runs in the family.But no murder case is straightforward, as Sergeant Pete Decker well knows, and the closer he looks at this one the less satisfied he is.Though Whitman eventually confesses to the killing Decker knows the case hasn't been exhaustively investigated - and certain pieces of evidence don't quite add up.On the other hand, Decker also knows that, even if he didn't murder Diggs, Whitman is a cold-blooded killer. And that the sweet young girl now under his thrall is bound, eventually, to suffer at Whitman's hands if he walks free.How should Decker ensure justice is done?

Justice is not necessarily an illusion, but rather a complex and often imperfect concept. While the idea of justice may vary depending on cultural, social, and individual perspectives, it remains a fundamental principle in many legal systems. However, the pursuit of justice can be hindered by biases, inequalities, and systemic injustices, leading some to question its true existence. Despite these challenges, efforts to promote fairness, equality, and accountability are essential in striving towards a more just society.

Can justice be bought?
Justice should not be something that can be bought. It is meant to be fair and impartial, based on the principles of right and wrong. All individuals should have equal access to justice, regardless of their financial status. When justice can be bought, it undermines the integrity of the legal system and can lead to unequal treatment under the law.
