Corrective Justice

Corrective justice is a principle in justice theory focused on rectifying wrongs or harms between individuals. When one person wrongs another, corrective justice seeks to restore balance by ensuring the wrongdoer compensates the victim or makes amends. It emphasizes personal responsibility and accountability, aiming to address injustices directly between the parties involved. Essentially, corrective justice is about setting things right after a harm has occurred, ensuring that the person harmed receives what they are owed, and that the person who caused the harm is held responsible for their actions.
