The Concept of Injustice

Reviews / Votes

"As Professor of Law and Humanities at Queen Mary College, University of London, Heinz argues in this thought provoking treatise that, contrary to the traditional tenets of Western justice theory, injustice is not primarily the negation, failure or absence of justice. Rather it is 'the constant product of regimes and norms of justice'. Furthermore, justice is not always the cure for injustice, but often its cause." - Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers "As Professor of Law and Humanities at Queen Mary College, University of London, Heinze argues in this thought provoking treatise that, contrary to the traditional tenets of Western justice theory, injustice is not primarily the negation, failure or absence of justice.

"The scholarship is breathtaking, but don't be deterred or overawed by Heinze's stunning erudition . . . something of magnitude is afoot." Adrian Howe, Legal Studies, Vol. 34 No. 4 (2014)."The Concept of Injustice makes a thought-provoking contribution to debates about justice. Given that these debates are well-trodden ground within Western thought, Heinze is to be commended for such an original and engaging contribution." Ball, Matthew J. Griffith Law Review, Vol. 22, No. 2 (2013).
