This work is devoted to analyzing three major frames of
justice--group justice, individual desert, and life
affirmation--and their implications for social policy as well as
their reflections in contemporary social policies. Pelton finds
that all three frames of justice are reflected in the Bible and,
later, the Koran. He contends that there is no evidence in the
Bible of a genesis or development from one frame of justice to
another. Rather, a sense of justice has existed in the human mind
from time immemorial, with the three frames coexisting and
manifesting themselves in both inter- and intra-group relations.
The prominence of one frame over another at any particular point in
history or in a particular geographical location is influenced by a
variety of factors, though it is ultimately open to human choice.
Pelton compares and contrasts the philosophies of nonviolence and
liberalism in regard to the frames, and explores the relationships
between principle, sentiment, reason, justice, and policy. He
discusses social science's problematic relationship to justice in
policymaking--for instance, how scholars have focused more on the
effectiveness of policies, largely in terms of statistical outcomes
reflecting aggregate data analyses, than on their justice. He goes
on to explore in depth how frames of justice give direction to
social policies, including those of genocide. Frames of Justice is
an outstanding work that analyzes the question of justice and
social policy, while simultaneously exploring the notion of desert
in religion, philosophy, and legislation--especially within the
context of the moral question of the relationship between means and
ends--and contrasting it with the principle of life affirmation.
