What is Corrective justice?

Corrective justice is when we fix things that went wrong, like when someone took something from you, and we help you get it back.

Imagine you have a favorite toy, and your friend takes it without asking. That feels unfair, right? Corrective justice is like when an adult helps you get your toy back, they make sure everything is fair again.

How It Works

Corrective justice happens after something bad or unfair has already happened. It's not about stopping the problem before it starts, it's about fixing what went wrong so things can be fair again.

Think of it like a broken seesaw at the playground. One side goes up, and the other goes down. Corrective justice is like giving the lower side a push to make it even again. It helps balance things out.

Real-Life Examples

If someone breaks your pencil, corrective justice might mean they give you a new one. Or if you're playing a game and someone cheats, the person in charge might let you try again, that’s also corrective justice!

It's all about making sure everyone gets what they deserve after something unfair happens. Corrective justice is when we fix things that went wrong, like when someone took something from you, and we help you get it back.
