Abstract: Justice serves as the cornerstone of every legal system, representing the moral and institutional pursuit of fairness, equality, and social order. This research paper explores the concept of justice from a multidimensional standpoint—legal, sociological, psychological, and ethical to understand how crime and criminal behaviour are perceived and addressed within modern jurisprudence. By examining classical and contemporary legal theories, criminological approaches, and human rights principles, this study reveals how justice extends beyond punishment to include rehabilitation, deterrence, and societal harmony. The paper also analyses how evolving societal norms and technological developments challenge traditional notions of justice, calling for a more humane and restorative approach in dealing with crime and criminals.
