  • Restorative Justice in the Face of Atrocities
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, Volume 496 Proceedings of the 2020 3rd International Conference on Humanities Education and Social Sciences (ICHESS 2020) Restorative Justice in the Face of Atrocities Yuanmeng Zhang [email protected] Flintridge Preparatory School Abstract The traditional justice serves the justice of the accused, while the restorative justice serves the justice of the victims, which is particularly important to the victims of war and has the function of containing the war. With the development of human society, war is inevitable, but the form will change. Restorative justice will ensure the vulnerable groups and warn the war initiators. Keywords：war，restorative，containing，justice October 1st, 1946. 3 Prior to the trial, the idea of 1. Introduction “retributive justice” was predominating in the law court. This form of justice often takes on an element of After the Second World War, disputes on the treatments of punishment or vengeance, a retribution to what the former Nazi soldiers has heightened debates criminal had done. The term also denotes “harsh internationally. According to many, the crimes of these treatment” because, according to the Stanford soldiers as well as their impacts are incurable; therefore, it Encyclopedia of Philosophy, retributive justice always is justified for Nazis to receive retributive justice- a form comes with “cost or hardship” for the criminal. 4 In of justice “morally impermissible intentionally to punish addition, these hardships are imposed by will upon the the innocent or to inflict disproportionately large guilty rather than accidental. In other words, the adverse punishments on wrongdoers.1” Before, during the Second effects which the use of retributive justice had purposely World War and long after, anti-semetic sentiment towards inflicted can be justified as “punishments” rather than the Jewish community was always high since the Nazi had “harms.

    ―Messengers of Justice and of Wrath‖: The Captivity-Revenge Cycle in the American Frontier Romance A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Brian P. Elliott June 2011 © 2011 Brian P. Elliott. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled ―Messengers of Justice and of Wrath‖: The Captivity-Revenge Cycle in the American Frontier Romance by BRIAN P. ELLIOTT has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Paul C. Jones Associate Professor of English Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT ELLIOTT, BRIAN P., Ph.D., June 2011, English ―Messengers of Justice and of Wrath‖: The Captivity-Revenge Cycle in the American Frontier Romance Director of Dissertation: Paul C. Jones This project explores the central importance of captivity and revenge to four novels in the genre of frontier romance: Charles Brockden Brown‘s Edgar Huntly (1799), James Fenimore Cooper‘s Last of the Mohicans (1826), Catharine Maria Sedgwick‘s Hope Leslie (1827), and Robert Montgomery Bird‘s Nick of the Woods (1837). Although a fundamental plot aspect of nearly every work in the genre, the threat of captivity and the necessity of revenge are rarely approached as topics of inquiry, despite their deep connection to the structure and action of the texts. Perhaps most importantly, as critics Jeremy Engels and Greg Goodale note, these twin tropes serve as a way of unifying disparate social groups and creating order; in essence, such depictions function as a form of what Michel Foucault terms ―governmentality,‖ logics of control that originate from non-governmental sources but promote systems of governance.

  • “Western” Notions of Justice: Legal Outsiders in American Cinema
    “Western” Notions of Justice: Legal Outsiders in American Cinema David T. Ritchie* “When it comes to justice, the best thing to do is to tell a story about a man or a woman who effects justice, or who suffers for it, or who presumes to run 1 roughshod over it, and to let it go at that.” JUSTICE, LEGAL OUTSIDERS, AND CIVIL SOCIETY The concept of justice is a dominant theme in traditional Western liberal culture.2 Indeed, the ideal of justice has taken on an almost mythic quality in our political and social culture.3 Interestingly, however, the prevailing myth4 is not one where the possibility of finding justice lies in relying upon or utilizing the public institutions of Western society.5 Instead, some of our most important cultural artifacts often go to great lengths to point out how finding justice in social and political institutions is seemingly impossible. The dominant message appears to be that justice is something found outside accepted social * Associate Professor of Law, Mercer University School of Law, Macon, Georgia; B.A., Cleveland State University; J.D., Howard University School of Law; LL.M., Temple University School of Law; Ph.D., University of Oregon.

WWHA Journal – December 2012 As President, Roosevelt was often caricatured and lampooned in the political cartoons of the day “Never Draw Unless You as a cowboy, sheriff, policeman or Rough Rider on horseback (preferably a bucking bronco) who Mean to Shoot” invariably wielded a very big stick that more than outweighed the other half of his famous maxim to Theodore Roosevelt’s “speak softly.”5 Roosevelt was seen as a man of Frontier Diplomacy action and, frequently, violent, action. But this stereotypic portrayal is at odds with the reality of Roosevelt the ranchman and Roosevelt the deputy Duane G. Jundt sheriff. Although he inhabited a sometimes violent world in the valley of the Little Missouri River, Roosevelt did not resort to violence with the ease and to the degree that many of his “[The Virginian] began far off from the contemporaries did; in fact, Roosevelt exercised point with that rooted caution of his—that considerable restraint, caution and discipline in caution which is shared alike by the primitive numerous situations in which an appeal to savage and the perfected diplomat.” 1 violence would have been wholly accepted and Owen Wister, The Virginian even condoned in his frontier community.

Denkin, Member Veronica Dahir, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2017 i ABSTRACT This thesis examines the court proceeding that followed the infamous gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona on October 26, 1881, and its likely outcome if prosecuted under modern jurisprudence. During a month-long proceeding, Wyatt, Virgil, and Morgan Earp, along with Wyatt’s close friend John Henry “Doc” Holliday, stood accused of murder in the deaths of William “Billy” Clanton, Frank McLaury, and Tom McLaury. Justice of the Peace Wells Spicer, applying the laws of the Territory of Arizona, determined after an evidentiary proceeding that there was no cause to believe the Defendants guilty, stating unequivocally that the killing of Clanton and the McLaurys had been “fully justified.” An analysis of the evidence, modern jurisprudence, and the influence of cultural and political factors on the original decision leads to the conclusion that the outcome might be different today.

  • Chapter 4: 'Drone Violence As Wild Justice: Administrative Executions
    FOUR Drone Violence as Wild Justice: Administrative Executions on the Terror Frontier Christian Enemark Introduction Outside of Sana’a [Yemen], it’s the Wild West. Vivian Salama, journalist (Woods 2015, 209) On 12 October 2000, seventeen US Navy sailors were killed when the USS Cole, a guided missile destroyer, was attacked in the Yemeni port of Aden by suicide bombers in a small boat laden with explosives. More than eighteen years later, US President Donald Trump confi rmed that a man accused of organising this attack had recently been killed in a US airstrike (probably a drone strike) in Yemen. Trump tweeted in early January 2019 (Browne and Starr 2019): Our GREAT MILITARY has delivered justice for the heroes lost and wounded in the cowardly attack on the USS Cole. We have just killed the leader of that attack, Jamal al-Badawi. Our work against al Qaeda continues. Soon afterwards, US Central Command, which oversees military operations in the region, tweeted confi rmation that al-Badawi was killed in the strike while driving a vehicle alone in the Marib Governorate. A military spokes- man later explained that in 2003 al-Badawi had been indicted by a federal grand jury, charged with fi fty counts of various terrorism offences, including murder of US nationals. Before the 2019 strike, al-Badawi had been on a list of ‘most wanted terrorists’ maintained by the Federal Bureau of Inves- tigation, and the US State Department’s Rewards for Justice Program had 66686_Enemark.indd686_Enemark.indd 7744 119/11/209/11/20 11:57:57 PPMM Drone Violence as Wild Justice / 75 offered up to $5 million for information leading to his arrest (Browne and Starr 2019).

  • Frontier Justice: State, Law, and Society in Patagonia, 1880-1940
    Frontier Justice: State, Law, and Society in Patagonia, 1880-1940 By Javier Cikota A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Margaret Chowning, Co-Chair Professor Mark A. Healey, Co-Chair Professor Brian DeLay Professor Laura Enríquez Summer 2017 Abstract Frontier Justice: State, Law, and Society in Patagonia, 1880-1940 by Javier Cikota Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Margaret Chowning, Co-Chair Professor Mark A. Healey, Co-Chair This dissertation examines the establishment of state institutions, the role of state agents, and the emergence of a self-conscious, municipally-based civil society in northern Patagonia in the six decades after it was conquered and incorporated into Argentina. In Patagonia, the Argentine government embarked on an ambitious project of forging a society from above, by creating new state institutions and encouraging new settlement. But these ambitions soon ran aground thanks to limited funding and political gridlock. What emerged instead was a ramshackle combination of authoritarian central administration with significant local autonomy that I call the “skeletal state.” Underfunded police officers, an overworked judiciary, and aloof governors made up the state presence in the frontier, with courts playing a central role as guarantors of social order. The “skeletal state” arrangement became remarkably resilient, as state agents proved flexible in overcoming scarce resources and institutional fragility, establishing legitimacy through legal action and ad-hoc extralegal responses to settler demands. The effectiveness of the “skeletal state” was intrinsically linked to the settler’s need for it, as both developed simultaneously.
