	Summary offence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the law of many common law jurisdictions, a summary offence (or summary offense) is an offence which can be tried without an indictment.
		In practise, this often means a trial without a jury, jury trials being reserved for indictable offences.
		Summary offences are often "petty crimes" or crimes that are not considered very severe such as most driving offences.

	Social justice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Social justice is a philosophical definition of justice, that is, giving individuals or groups their due within society as a whole.
		The argument that 'social justice' is an artificial construct is equally ancient in western philosophy, with the Sophists being early proponents; it was revived by the writings of Niccolò Machiavelli, furthered by the subjective philosophy of René Descartes, and is a central idea in many modern and postmodern philosophies.
		Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) says, "Justice is a certain rectitude of mind whereby a man does what he ought to do in the circumstances confronting him." As a theologian, Aquinas believed that justice is a form of natural duty owed by one person to another and not enforced by any human-made law.

	The Youth Criminal Justice Act: Summary and Background (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The objectives of the youth justice system are to prevent crime; rehabilitate and reintegrate young persons into society; and ensure meaningful consequences for offences.
		Youth justice proceedings require special guarantees to protect the rights of young people; courtesy, compassion and respect for victims; the opportunity for victims to be informed and to participate; and that parents be informed and encouraged to participate in addressing the young person's offending behaviour.
		A cornerstone of youth justice in Canada is that, as a general rule, the identity of a young person should be protected.

	Scott Hain - Juveniles - the International Justice Project
		"Given Hain's age at the time of the crime, his execution would be contrary to American standards of justice, fairness and decency, which punish according to the degree of culpability and reserve the death penalty for the 'worst of the worst' offenders," the American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma said in a statement.
		The four justices, the more liberal wing of the court, had the votes to force their colleagues to hear arguments in the Oklahoma case.
		Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, a moderate conservative, is considered a crucial swing vote.

	Thomas Sowell \| Speech "The Quest for Cosmic Justice"
		In a sense, proponents of "social justice" are unduly modest.
		This perspective on justice can be found in a wide range of activities and places, from the street-corner community activist to the august judicial chambers of the Supreme Court.
		In short, to promote cosmic justice, they must misrepresent what is happening as violations of traditional justice-- as understood by others who do not share their vision.

	SUMMARY: Chief Justice Roy Moore's Case Defending The Display Of The Ten Commandments In A Public Building
		The monument was designed and commissioned by Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore in recognition of the moral foundation of the law.
		Chief Justice Moore's installation of the monument does not command, prohibit, or permit any action by any party.
		Both federal courts ruling against Chief Justice Moore argue for religious "pluralism"--asserting a "history of religious diversity" in America (the Court of Appeals) and branding any effort by law to recognize a single definition of "religion" as "unwise, and even dangerous" and as "tending towards a 'theocracy'" (the District Court).

	Juvenile Crime, Juvenile Justice -- Executive Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		A juvenile justice system separate from the adult justice system was established in the United States about 100 years ago with the goal of diverting youthful offenders from the destructive punishments of criminal courts and encouraging rehabilitation based on the individual juvenile's needs.
		The proportion of fl juveniles under the supervision of the juvenile or adult criminal justice systems is more than double their proportion in the general population, and these discrepancies exist at most points in justice system processing.
		Given the importance of the problem of race, crime, and juvenile justice in the United States, the scant research attention that has been paid to understanding the factors contributing to racial disparities in the juvenile justice system is shocking.

	Summary 'justice' is coming to Britain \| Samizdata.net
		Tony Blair now does not even feel the need to hide the fact he intends to introduce summary 'justice' in Britain without the inconvenience of a trial or other for of due process.
		While I agree that the courts are frustratingly slow, and 'justice' (not just a mere rubber stamping of whatever 'legislators' seem to think the 'law' should be today) does need to be dispensed in a much more timely fashion, this is most certainly not the way to go about it.
		If they had suggested 'roving judges' that were employed by and qualified by the courts that would be dispatched to the scene to provide a limited set of services that would be one thing, and provided it was set up right, possibly helpful.
