Justice, law and punishment

Students may also approach this question from many legitimate angles and need not be afraid of making connections between the three ideas. For example, what they learn about justice will inevitably overlap with punishment and they can be direct about making these links. Students are free to chose theories of justice, law and punishment from any source which offers scope for debate and academic comment. They do not need to be committed to religious approaches to these issues, although such approaches offer a good range of material on which to base a discussion.
