Is justice a luxury?
)
July 22nd, 2013
This morning I heard a review of a book entitled Hour of the Red God by Richard Crompton. In one passage one of the characters states,
“Justice is a luxury. Peace is a necessity. You want justice, move to some first-world state with sophisticated crime labs and DNA tests and judges who can’t be bought off.”
It seems to me that justice can sometimes be considered a luxury in first-world countries where court costs and legal fees make the court system unavailable to many.
Is justice a luxury? Is it a luxury only in developing or collapsed economies/countries? Or is it a luxury worldwide?
