Justice for Victims and Their Families

<p>If asked to define what justice means to you, what would you say? To many people, justice is a product of a society that values fairness and fair treatment of everyone irrespective of their race, gender, or religion. Justice indicates that laws are applied equally to all, and indeed, justice is at the heart of our legal system. When a life is wrongfully taken, the victim&rsquo;s family deserves both justice and closure.</p> <p>This raises another question: What, exactly, is closure? Is it an endpoint at which grief is no longer as all-consuming, or when the survivors accept that their loved one is truly gone? Does it come automatically when a conviction is achieved? And without a conviction, can a family ever attain closure? Perhaps at its root, closure is more of a process &mdash; something that begins when justice is achieved and continues throughout the remainder of the family members&rsquo; lives, changing shape and evolving much as grief itself does.</p> <p><a href="https://annasigganicolazzi.medium.com/justice-for-victims-and-their-families-892d6c438012"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
