The Use of Physical Coercion in the Criminal Justice System

It delves into the concept of love of neighbor and how physical violence, when motivated by such love, can be seen as justified. The chapter emphasizes that justice in Christian thought is intertwined with love and discusses the importance of seeking the best for one's neighbor through punishment as discipline, with the goal of restoration and peace.
