can anyone give me some websites with arguments in favor of and against the just desert theory?

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Here are some things online:

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice (definition)

2.
web.missouri.edu/~umcasklinechair/on-line%20papers/vol%206-desert%20and%20e... (a pdf file you would need to download)

3. http://lsolum.typepad.com/legal_theory_lexicon/2005/07/legal_theory_le.html

4.
www.arch-angel.net/shrine/Articles/The%20Humanitarian%20Theory%20of%20Punis... (another pdf file)

Many things online require that you purchase the information OR that you be a member of a group that has access to the site.

Here's where SraJMcGin found those websites for you -- in case you want to access those PDF webpages.
