2.10 Rawls’ Theory of Justice

John Rawls (1921-2002) is a modern philosopher who studies justice theory. His theory is not focused on helping individuals deal with ethical dilemmas, but rather in the general concept of thinking how the criminal justice system should function, in the context of liberal democracy Function. This is why all law enforcement officers must understand Rawls' justice theory, or at least they must generally understand the main concept he suggests.

Rawls's theory is a liberalism and forms the basis of law enforcement agencies and criminal justice systems to work in a pluralistic free society. With some of the concepts of social contract theory, Rawls imagines a society where social justice establishes the principle of justice. However, Mr. Rawls discovered that social contracts had problems that did not take into account equity and equality among members of the society, thus proposing a social contract to be negotiated behind the "veil of ignorance" . Here, social contracts are fair because negotiating participants do not know what their race, gender, education, health, sexual orientation and other characteristics are. In the final analysis, Rawls believes that the main focus of justice is fairness Rolls has identified the two principles in this paradigm:

"Everyone has the same rights as the widest fundamental freedom and is compatible with other similar freedoms" (Rolls, 2006, p. 63). Rolls further allows anyone to engage in activities unless he or she infringes upon the rights of others.

"Social and economic inequality will be adjusted so that (a) it is rationally expected that it will benefit everyone belonging to an open position or office to all people "(Lolls, 2006, page 63). Likewise, everyone should share the wealth of society, and everyone should benefit from the distribution of wealth. Rawls does not believe that everyone should receive the same salary, but everyone should benefit from fair income and get a higher paying job.

Rawls believes that these principles should be followed to eliminate the same benefits and to ensure that everyone gains justice.

Rolls further discusses personal ethics, which is not a central principle of his theory, but to a certain extent is a general statement about how moral people act (Banks, 2013).

In 'Justice theory', Rolls' point of view starts with "Justice is the first virtue of the social system". In other words, a good society is a society constructed according to the principle of justice. Rawls argues that the existing justice theory developed in the field of philosophy is not enough: "My guidance goal is a feasible justice that replaces these doctrines that have dominated our philosophical tradition for a long time It is to develop the theory. " His theory - based on social justice - justice as justice, the concept of the basic structure of society

Justice theory is a theoretical plan by Rolls to develop a philosophy of justice and to establish a political structure designed to protect social justice and individual freedom. In response to the mainstream utilitarian theory at the time, Rawls wrote that this theory argues that justice is defined as providing the greatest benefit to most people. Rawls is wrapped in a veil of ignorance and proposes a theoretical person who must design a fair society without having to predict his or her identity in society. Mr. Rawl believes that from an objective standpoint he will call the original position, the individual will choose a justice system to provide sufficient conditions for people at the lowest level of society. Individuals will do this as he or she may wish to obtain sufficient rewards at such a disadvantage.

Rolls defined fairness as fair within the scope of its original position in "justice theory" and hence tried to define established moral ethics. Rawls's theory puts individual freedom at an equal position to explain utilitarian flaws. In spite of Sandell's criticism, Rawls as justice of impartiality theory fully defended the redistribution system of society as a whole and solved the problem of inequality in luck. - Equality of the Treaty of Versailles At the end of the First World War in 1918, the Treaty of Versailles was a peaceful solution.

The treaty is a compromise between the two countries trying to meet all the needs - but it is completely fair for Germany
