Part 6:  Necessary Components for Community Sustainability

Justice

In the simplest terms, justice can be considered the mechanism that deals with crime. As civilization begins to break down as a result of the financial collapse, the ability to deal with crime as it is presently being done will no longer be sustainable.

There will be no more large scale prisons in operation when all of the local communities throughout the country are doing everything in their power just to assure the survival of their law-abiding citizens. Precious resources will not be put into huge concrete buildings when those resources are needed to help reintroduce far more important products and services. When facing these conditions, leadership of the local communities will be called upon to fundamentally rethink what constitutes crime and how they will deal with it.

To deal with this subject we take a quote from the genius that gave rise to the personal computer. Alan Kay, once aptly said "Perspective is worth 80 IQ points." He applied this concept to the proper development of software but it equally applies to the concepts of justice. Crime and the mechanisms of justice need to be well identified and understood.

But like money, developing and understanding of a new perspective on justice does not depend solely on a theoretical analysis.  History, when properly studied, can provide a previous operational example of how it could be done.  We will go into more detail with this subject and its historical origins in a later segment.
