Description
Establishing a connection between morality and law, I show issues with the United States justice system, discuss theories of justice, argue for a framework which distinguishes internal-external morality through concepts of moral essence and context, and argue in favor of rehabilitative and restorative justice that alleviates problems of the current system.
