Digital Technology and Justice : Justice Apps
Justice apps – mobile and web-based programmes that can assist individuals with legal tasks – are being produced, improved, and accessed at an unprecedented rate.These technologies have the potential to reshape the justice system, improve access to justice, and demystify legal institutions.Using artificial intelligence techniques, apps can even facilitate the resolution of common legal disputes.However, these opportunities must be assessed in light of the many challenges associated with app use in the justice sector.These include the digital divide and other accessibility issues; the ethical challenges raised by the dehumanisation of legal processes; and various privacy, security, and confidentiality risks.Surveying the landscape of this emergent industry, this book explores the objectives, opportunities, and challenges presented by apps across all areas of the justice sector.Detailed consideration is also given to the use of justice apps in specific legal contexts, including the family law and criminal law sectors.The first book to engage with justice apps, this book will appeal to a wide range of legal scholars, students, practitioners, and policy-makers.

Global Justice
Do we have moral duties to people in distant parts of the world?If so, how demanding are these duties? And how can they be reconciled with our obligations to fellow citizens?Every year, millions of people die from poverty-related causes while countless others are forced to flee their homes to escape from war and oppression.At the same time, many of us live comfortably in safe and prosperous democracies.Yet our lives are bound up with those of the poor and dispossessed in multiple ways: our clothes are manufactured in Asian sweatshops; the oil that fuels our cars is purchased from African and Middle Eastern dictators; and our consumer lifestyles generate environmental changes that threaten Bangladeshi peasants with drought and famine.These facts force us to re-evaluate our conduct and to ask whether we must do more for those who have less. Helping students to grapple with big questions surrounding justice, human rights, and equality, this comprehensive yet accessible textbook features chapters on a variety of pressing issues such as immigration, international trade, war, and climate change.Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students alike, the book also serves as a philosophical primer for politicians, activists, and anyone else who cares about justice.

Collaboration and Innovation in Criminal Justice : An Activity Theory Alternative to Offender Rehabilitation
Drawing on original research on community-based alternatives to offender rehabilitation, this book provides an up-to-date depiction of the challenges faced by front-line workers at the interface between criminal justice and welfare systems striving to address needs and provide multifaceted solutions. Using an innovative theoretical approach predicated on activity theory (AT) to dissect the problem, the book makes the case for co-created rehabilitation strategies that address the needs of offenders – which can only be achieved with the involvement of health and social welfare services as a means to provide a holistic support to individuals – and regard for the dilemmas front-line professionals face to deploy such strategies – which means shifting the top-down paradigm of policy implementation for co-created solutions.The book explores how AT can be used to help design commensurate interventions that give voice to all the interested actors involved in the rehabilitation process and provide readers with tools that help translate theory into practice. This book is essential reading for students, researchers, practitioners and other stakeholders focusing on co-created, bottom-up alternatives to imprisonment that benefit both offenders, community and the state.

'Revenge or Justice?'
Revenge is driven by a desire to inflict harm or suffering on someone in response to a perceived wrongdoing, often without consideration for fairness or due process. Justice, on the other hand, is about restoring balance and fairness by holding individuals accountable for their actions through a fair and impartial legal process. While revenge may provide temporary satisfaction, it often perpetuates a cycle of harm and does not address the root causes of the conflict. Justice, on the other hand, seeks to address the underlying issues and promote healing and reconciliation. Ultimately, justice is a more sustainable and constructive approach to resolving conflicts and addressing wrongdoing.

Water Management : Prioritizing Justice and Sustainability
Flooding in California. Drought and famine in the Horn of Africa. Massive fish kills in Texas and Australia. “Foreverchemicals” in US drinking water. Similar headlines are sure to dominate the news in the years ahead.What is sometimesmissing from the headlines, though, is an understanding that these diverse problems are related: manifestations of seriousunderlying stresses on our water systems.These stresses require sustained attention from water managers, scientists,policymakers, and the public, even after the headlines have faded.That attention, in turn, requires a sharedunderstanding of how water systems function, the problems facing them, and the tools available to increase theirresilience. This text fills that need by providing the necessary knowledge base for understanding and managing complex waterproblems.It is geared primarily towards students in water management courses at the undergraduate and graduate levelsbut will also be a helpful resource for practicing water professionals who want to get new ideas or a broader view of thesubject. Rather than focusing on one type of water problem (as many water books do), this text explores the entire gamut of waterissues, from dams to desalination, from flooding to famine, from prior appropriation to pumped storage, from sanitationto stormwater. And rather than teaching from one disciplinary perspective (as many water books do), it looks at waterproblems through a variety of lenses: hydrology, climate science, ecology, and engineering, but also law, economics,history, and environmental justice.The result is a concise yet comprehensive introduction to one of the most critical anddemanding challenges of our time: developing just and sustainable solutions to water management.

Global Justice & Finance
Can global justice be promoted by distributing money more equitably?Could even relatively small financial sacrifices by the affluent work, through benign leverage, to achieve that goal?Global Justice and Finance casts new light on such questions by considering what is presupposed about finance.Redistributive proposals assume money to be a reliable measure, store of value, and medium of exchange.Yet maintaining stable interest, inflation, and exchange rates in a dynamic capitalist economy is a considerable achievement involving a complex financial system.Such global coordination could, if so directed, contribute immensely to humanity's betterment, yet under the direction of a profit seeking elite it leaves a majority disempowered, impoverished, and indebted.To pay debts, ever more desperate measures to wrest value from the world's natural resources increase ecological pressures to harmful extremes, and those pressures do not stop short of driving wars.The profit seeking economy is held in place by the complex legal arrangements that constitute finance.Globally, there has developed, unannounced and unaccountably, what amounts to a privatised constitution - binding agreements that transcend sovereign jurisdictions.Hopes of redirecting the financial assets created within this system, by means of modest reforms, towards objectives of social justice and ecological sustainability may prove illusory.To achieve such objectives arguably requires the constitution of a global normative order guided by public and political decision-making.The achievement of a publicly accountable constitutional order that is superordinate to the financial system might be regarded as a revolutionary transformation.

Is justice an illusion?
Justice is not necessarily an illusion, but rather a complex and often imperfect concept. While the idea of justice may vary depending on cultural, social, and individual perspectives, it remains a fundamental principle in many legal systems. However, the pursuit of justice can be hindered by biases, inequalities, and systemic injustices, leading some to question its true existence. Despite these challenges, efforts to promote fairness, equality, and accountability are essential in striving towards a more just society.

Can justice be bought?
Justice should not be something that can be bought. It is meant to be fair and impartial, based on the principles of right and wrong. All individuals should have equal access to justice, regardless of their financial status. When justice can be bought, it undermines the integrity of the legal system and can lead to unequal treatment under the law.
