Abstract:
The essay deals with the relationship between mercy and equity as a form of indulgent justice. Starting from the Aristotelian concept of equity, the essay studies the relationship between indulgency and normative overinclusion and underinclusion, considers the reach of equity in criminal law and concludes analysing the relation between judicial equity and legislation.<br>El estudio analiza la relación entre el derecho de gracia y la equidad como una forma de justicia indulgente.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Robert C. Bartlett<br>At the beginning of the fifth book of the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle tells us that, according to common opinion, justice is lawful and fair. He concludes his examination of justice with a discussion of equity, which proves to be neither strictly lawful nor strictly fair—and yet Aristotle tells us that equity is, in a certain sense, the highest form of justice. This dissertation explains how Aristotle reaches this startling conclusion. I begin with an exploration of the careful taxonomy of justice that Aristotle lays out in the first half of book five. B

Abstract:
Fairness and justice are often used interchangeably in socio-legal research. The goal of this study was to use 157 student-produced examples of either "injustice" or "unfairness" to determine whether differences exist in the content of the stories, and by extension, the definitions of these terms, and on participants' scores on modified versions of Kohlberg and Gilligan's levels of moral development. As hypothesized, the two terms were related, yet significantly different, with "unfairness" stories highlighting violations of equality, and "injustice" stories highlighting legal interactions a

The research is centered around two questions: (1) to what extent has S.B. 535 experienced successful implementation in its first year of operation, and (2) how can policy actors improve implementation while balancing performance and equity goals?

Public transport policies play a key role in shaping the social and spatial structure of cities. These policies influence how easily people can access opportunities, including health and educational services and job positions. The accessibility impacts of transport policies thus have important implications for social inequalities and for the promotion of just and inclusive cities. However, in the transportation literature, there is still little theoretically informed understanding of justice and what it means in the context of transport policies.

Low performers prefer a procedural equality layoff, while high performers demonstrate no clear preference for either layoff procedure.

In this thesis the use of enforceable undertakings is examined as a sanction for a breach in work, health and safety legislation through the lens of organisational justice. A framework of justice types - distributive, procedural and interactional - is developed and the perceptions of the three parties to the process - the regulator, the business entity and the worker as the affected third party - are explored. It is argued that the three parties perceive the sanction to be distributively unfair, but procedurally and interactionally just.

Abstract:
The presence and prevalence of educational inequities within public education continue to foster structures that limit student opportunities for specific student subgroups. Such limitations negate the tenets of public education and conflict with a system that should embrace success for all. This study explored district leadership, in the form of school boards and governance teams within the frameworks of Change Theory and Social Justice Advocacy, to identify patterns in approaches that could initiate and sustain systemic reform toward greater educational equity.

Abstract:
Equity is an American ideal, one that is considered the cornerstone to good governance (Gooden, 2011).

Abstract:
In response to the twin challenges of climate change and energy security, the UK government’s energy strategy includes new nuclear power stations. Large scale centralised generation of this type requires transmission infrastructure to carry electricity from where it is generated to where it is needed. This transmission infrastructure, specifically High Voltage Overhead Transmission Lines (HVOTLs), has met with significant community opposition, even where a new nuclear power station appears to be generally accepted. Acceptance of one major development and rejection of another suggests something
