What is the principle of fairness that includes distributive, corrective, and procedural justice?

• A. Procedural Justice
• B. Distributive Justice
• C. Corrective Justice
• D. Justice

Answer: (D)

Justice is the broad principle of fairness that covers how benefits and burdens are distributed, how wrongs are remedied, and how processes are carried out. Distributive justice looks at fair shares of goods, opportunities, and penalties among people. Corrective justice focuses on restoring balance when a wrong has occurred, often through restitution or remedial action. Procedural justice concerns the fairness of the methods and processes used to reach outcomes, ensuring decisions are impartial, transparent, and allow participation. Because distributive, corrective, and procedural justice are all dimensions of the same overarching idea, the umbrella concept is justice.
