Law, Justice, and Society chapter 2

In chapter two I learned about justice. Justice is an idea that defines what is fair. I learned that there are different justices couple of them are Distributive justice which is distributing resources to people who are productive in society. Retributive justice is how a society system of law goes by guilt or innocence and how it makes the ruling about how to punish the guilty. Those are the two main justices. The law and justice is always evolving in to something different and when it evolves it tries to bring more justice to people.
There are crimes that are intrinsically evel those crimes are called Mala In Se and there is crimes that are prohibited evil in perticular comunity and those are called Mala Prohibita. It is really hard to decide which crime is which because when you go to a different culture and sociaty different things are aloud and considered normal. Mala In Se is the crime that is the hardes to decide if it is inharited evil by everyone because of the all the different cultures. When i learnde Mala In Se I thought it would be easy to decide if it was inharitad evil or not but then i looked at different culutures and I saw that the things that were wront to me were part of those cultures. The part of this chapter that intreged me the most was the Due Proces and the due proces is the proces that is done to you when you have court and get arrested. The link that i put up is a vedio that shows how the due proces is broken all of the time by our government http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_VBs3-jVg4 . There is another proces that can be used and that proces is called crime control. Crime control is a a method that the police like to use to get more criminals off the street, minimize apeoas and save money and time. Those are not all of the things i have learned from this chapter. This chapter was a really interesting to me because i got to learn about how law and justice is made.
