Do you believe in justice? What type? Most people think of retributive justice in which punishment is meted out to the guilty. This may serve as a deterrent, but it doesn’t improve the situation. The common phrase, even taken from the Bible, is an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But there is another approach that is also found in the Bible. This requires the repayment of something stolen, in even greater measure. This also acts as a deterrent, but it has the additional quality of being restorative. The penalty helps the victim. Which system do you see implemented in your culture? Which do you think is better?
