Description
Subject Area: Sociology and Anthropology
This course can also be studied in the following specialisation: Criminology
This course uses social theory to examine justice and mercy in everyday life. What happens when justice fails? What is just? What are the social implications? Drawing on different legal, literary, media and visual examples this subject will explore how justice is portrayed and understood in different social relations and cultural contexts. Some of themes considered in this course (but are not limited to) include forgiveness, crime and punishment, equality and discrimination, justice and mercy, health and disability, power and knowledge, law and order, morality and value, and ethics and justice. By exploring different themes and practices, we will focus on the social implications of justice in everyday life and experience.
