Importance of Justice – Short Essay

Justice makes the citizens of any given country to have faith in the laws of their country and therefore their judicial system. A country that trusts its judicial system is one that maintains peace.

Justice brings unity to a country as they are driven by the goal of maintaining law and order. When there is justice in a country, people fear to commit crime.

Justice punishes crime and therefore rids a country of law breakers and other offenders of the law. It eliminates shrewd personalities in a country.

Justice also gives voice to the poor and the weak and therefore the rich and powerful cannot take advantage of them.

It opens up the public to supporting the law and reporting cases of crime with faith that justice will be served.

Justice also serves as a guide or watch dog for a society where people always do the right thing with or without supervision.

Justice as defined by law drives a country towards better days. It is important to campaign for justice in whichever system or level one finds themselves in as it will determine the overall turnout of that particular society. This is because the concept of justice is one that is introduced, nurtured to grow and develop and does not just happen overnight.
