Assessing Criminal Justice Practice Using Social Justice Theory

Abstract  

In this article, I introduce two of the leading theories of social justice put forth by John Rawls and David Miller. Then,
I assess criminal justice practice, from law-making to corrections, in terms of ways in which it is consistent and inconsistent
with these theories of social justice. Throughout the article, I also identify ways in which criminal justice practice is
inconsistent with social justice. Finally, I make recommendations for reforming criminal justice to make it more consistent
with social justice.
