What determines the justice or injustice of a society?


1
Is justice or injustice of a society is measured by the manner in which it handles dissent? In my opinion the justice or injustice of a society is based on multiple factors; besides, one cannot judge an entire society by those who are in power because they do not accurately reflect the entire populace. Am I on the right track?

What is the most important factor when society decides on the punishment for a crime?


2
This could apply to any country so all answers welcome.

As far as I can see the main reasons for having a judicial system of punishment are

- Provide Justice to victims of crime
- Prevent further offending through sanctions
- Rehabilitation of offenders
- To provide society with reassurance

What are some examples in modern society of prosecution based only on suspicion with no evidence?


2
Either that or persecution. I’m trying to compare it to the Salem witch trials in the 17th century when many people were accused by children as witches and were hung as a result. Any ideas of prosecution/persecution in modern society based only on suspicion? Could be anything from from recent 100 yrs or so.

what should society do to prevent innocent people from being accused and presumed guilty in the future?


4
Many innocent people are being accused of crimes/sins they did not commit. They stay in the jail for years and they are innocent people, so how can society prevent these people from being accused if they are not guilty?
