This is a political theory discussion, but I am looking towards practical application. Mods move if you see fit.
Who should justice serve: the victim, society, or the unjust (criminal if you will)? When I ask this question I am thinking about who deserves the most justice if someone commits a crime with a victim? There is discussion about how rehabilitation is important. But in a case such as rape, or murder, how important is it that the Victim sees that justice is carried out? And how far does justice for the victim go? What about justice for society? And what about justice for the criminal? How far do you see these goings?
And in our system do you think we serve them? How far for each?
