The essay critiques the modern criminal justice system's reliance on a retributive model rooted in colonial practices, highlighting its outdated, arbitrary, and racially biased nature. It argues that this legacy enables governments to manipulate minority populations under the guise of justice. Scholars advocate for reform, suggesting a shift towards a system that prioritizes the needs and rights of victims over state interests. Robert Elias emphasizes that true victims should have the autonomy to resolve conflicts independently, minimizing state intervention in the process.
