Maiese & Burgess (2003, 2013, 2020): Types of justice
Justice = action in accordance with the requirements of some law.
Rules grounded in human consensus or societal norms
Rules supposed to ensure that all members of society receive fair treatment
Issues with justice in several different spheres
o The different types of justice have important implications for socio-economic,
political, civil and criminal justice at both the national and international level.
Just institutions can lead to a sense of stability, well-being and satisfaction
Perceived injustices can lead to dissatisfaction, rebellion or revolution.
Four types/spheres of justice:
1. Distributive justice: determining who gets what
a. There is inequality
b. Question of how we can get there from where we are now.
c. Possible criteria for what counts as a ‘fair share’: equality, equity and need
i. Equity = one’s rewards should be equal to one’s contributions to a society
ii. Equality = everyone gets the same amount, regardless of their input
iii. (distribution based on) need = people who need more will get more, while
people who need less will get less.
2. Procedural justice: determining how fairly people are treated
a. E.g. within the justice process and in jail.
b. Rules must be impartially followed and consistently applied in order to generate an
unbiased decision.
c. Those carrying out the procedures should be neutral, and those directly affected by
the decisions should have some voice or representation in the decision-making
process.
d. Perceived fairness leads more likely to acceptance of outcomes
3. Retributive justice: based on punishment for wrong-doing
a. Central idea: offender has gained unfair advantage through his or her behaviour and
that punishment will set this imbalance straight.
b. Also the hope that the punishment is high enough that people will not engage in
illegal activities.
c. E.g. some people are held responsible for their wrong-doing and get punished, while
others aren’t (because of their ethnicity or their richness). This is injustice.
4. Restorative justice: tries to restore relationships to ‘rightness’
a. If they never were there: create a healthy relationship where they were absent
before.
b. Repair what is broken / victims wounds should be healed
c. Offenders must take responsibility for the harm they have caused their victims
d. Aim to strengthen the community and to prevent similar harms from happening in
the future.
Goes about how the term ‘justice is used and should be used around the events of Black Lives Matter
and George Floyd and at the whole story of race in the country of the US.
Haraway (1988): Situated knowledges: the science question in
feminism and the privilege of partial perspective
Objectivity is not that objective. Often from the perspective of the (rich) white men. There is a bias.
Debates about objectivity matter.
