Frames of Justice: Implications for Social Policy

He discusses social science’s problematic relationship to justice in policymaking - for instance, how scholars have focused more on the effectiveness of policies, largely in terms of statistical outcomes reflecting aggregate data analyses, than on their justice. He goes on to explore in depth how all three frames of justice give direction to social policies, including those of genocide. Frames of Justice is an outstanding work that analyzes the question of justice and social policy, while simultaneously exploring the notion of desert in religion, philosophy, and legislation - especially within the context of the moral question of the relationship between means and ends - and contrasting it with the principle of life affirmation.
