Water for Food Security, Nutrition and Social Justice
This book is the first comprehensive effort to bring together Water, Food Security and Nutrition (FSN) in a way that goes beyond the traditional focus on irrigated agriculture.Apart from looking at the role of water and sanitation for human well-being, it proposes alternative and more locally appropriate ways to address complex water management and governance challenges from the local to global levels against a backdrop of growing uncertainties. The authors challenge mainstream supply-oriented and neo-Malthusian visions that argue for the need to increase the land area under irrigation in order to feed the world’s growing population.Instead, they argue for a reframing of the debate concerning production processes, waste, food consumption and dietary patterns whilst proposing alternative strategies to improve water and land productivity, putting the interests of marginalized and disenfranchized groups upfront. The book highlights how accessing water for FSN can be challenging for small-holders, vulnerable and marginalized women and men, and how water allocation systems and reform processes can negatively affect local people’s informal rights.The book argues for the need to improve policy coherence across water, land and food and is original in making a case for strengthening the relationship between the human rights to water and food, especially for marginalized women and men.It will be of great interest to practitioners, students and researchers working on water and food issues.

Justice
This collection of extracts from works by philosophers, political theorists, and social critics ranges over two millennia, from the ideas of Plato and Aristotle to those of contemporary thinkers such as John Rawls and Robert Nozick, and examines the nature of justice, its importance in human life, and its place among the other virtues. The scope of the collection gives a clear picture of the differences and continuities that have marked the debate: Plato's emphasis on the ideal of `sticking to one's task' contrasts with the modern emphasis on individual rights, while the account of justice as part of the law of nature offered by Aristotle and Cicero contrasts with Hume's analysis of justice as an artificial virtue. Alan Ryan's introductory essay emphasizes the stringency of justice, showing how its demands can conflict with considerations of the general welfare.The book concludes with a discussion of Marx's view that justice is perhaps merely a concession to a world of scarcity and selfishness created by capitalist necessities.This is an essential guide to interpretations of one of the central values of political life and thought.

What is the definition of social security and social justice?
Social security refers to a government program that provides financial assistance to individuals who are retired, disabled, or unemployed. It is designed to ensure that people have a basic level of income and access to essential services. Social justice, on the other hand, is the concept of fair and equitable treatment for all members of society, regardless of their background or circumstances. It involves addressing inequalities and working towards a society where everyone has equal opportunities and rights. Both social security and social justice are important for creating a more inclusive and fair society.

'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.

And that the sweet young girl now under his thrall is bound, eventually, to suffer at Whitman's hands if he walks free.How should Decker ensure justice is done?

Justice
A blindfolded woman holding a balance and a sword personifies one of our most significant virtues.We find Lady Justice in statues and paintings that adorn courts and other institutions of law, symbolizing strength and impartiality.Yet why do we valorize this virtue primarily as a quality of societies, and secondly as one of individual character?We can trace the virtue of justice to ancient Greece, where virtue ethics began its long evolution.There justice was seen as one of the most prominent virtues - and arguably the most important of the social virtues.With time, political philosophy diverted focus to understanding justice as a property of societies, and discussion of justice as a virtue of individuals diminished.But justice as a virtue of individual character has, along with the other virtues, reasserted itself not only in philosophy but in social psychology and other empirical fields of study.This volume aims to demonstrate the breadth of that thinking and research.It comprises new essays solicited from philosophers and political theorists, psychologists, economists, biologists, and legal scholars.Each contribution focuses on some aspect of what makes people just, either by examining the science that explains the development of justice as a virtue, by highlighting virtue cultivation within distinctive traditions of empirical or philosophical thought, or by adopting a distinctive perspective on justice as an individual trait.As the volume shows, justice begins with the individual, and flows outward to make just laws and just societies.

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.

Restorative Justice Pocketbook : Restorative Justice Pocketbook
Schools that have adopted the ancient principles of restorative justice in their approach to disciplinary matters are reporting better relationships with young people, greater engagement in learning, and a greater development of social and emotional competence among learners.Not surprisingly, interest in restorative practices is growing.The highly visual "Restorative Justice Pocketbook" provides an introduction to restorative practice (RP) in schools.Using cartoons, diagrams and visual prompts to support the text, it begins with some background to the approach and outlines a process that offers high levels of support to both victims and culprits.All parties involved in an incident or problem work in conference towards a solution.Wrongdoing is viewed through a 'relational lens' whereby those involved come to understand the harm done to people and relationships.Accepting that such harm creates obligations and liabilities, they then focus on repairing the damage and putting things right. A substantial proportion of the book details - at script level - how to conduct restorative conferences for incidents right across the behaviour spectrum to the point where parents and outside agencies may be involved.The practical examples are recognisable, everyday scenarios and the step-by-step application of the restorative process is illuminating.Margaret Thorsborne and David Vinegrad are international experts in behaviour and relationships.Between them they have trained education facilitators and led RP and community conferencing programmes on five continents.

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.
