This book is an introduction to the pursuit of justice and how our criminal justice system is designed to further or hamper that goal. It is designed to fill a gap in the literature on justice by combining a discussion of the concept of justice within a philosophical and legal context. The authors discuss the concept of justice, provide examples of injustice, and discuss strategies for achieving justice.
