A Look Into Books About Injustice

By Kristen Waller


An act of injustice occurs when a fair penalty has not been delivered even with the presence of a legal system. Such acts can occur due to decisions made by the involved parties or because of the existing flaws within the system itself. These acts occur in various situations and these are discussed extensively in books about injustice.

These events can occur everyday but many may not be aware of it. For example, the trial of a defendant may result in unjust punishment or acquittal. An employee may be subjected to unjust labor practices. Discrimination and racism are other examples whereby unjust acts occur. These acts can continue unabated if the involved parties themselves do not report them.

Literature has long explored this concept with many works of fiction and nonfiction. Fictional pieces may tell the story from the victims perspective to better portray the situation. Some authors use realistic settings so that readers can better relate while other writers bank on imagination and adventure to reach their audience.

Non fictional works often focus on recent events but some authors choose to tackle significant events in the past. In these type of work, the author may have been a witness to the actual event or he may have come up with his material through extensive research. Such works can raise the awareness of the public.

Racial discrimination is a common topic since this is a highly relevant subject even in todays society. With people migrating and traveling, people from different countries have a lot of opportunities to interact with each other everyday. This can bring about positive changes but this can also involve acts of discrimination in certain situations.

Courtroom cases are also one of the topics that may be tackled in this type of literature. There are many defendants who have been meted out with punishments that other people consider to be too harsh or too lax. Many have pointed out flaws within the legal system that hinder the administration of justice. Death penalty is also something that many people have long questioned.

These are only some of the topics which may be covered in these works. You will be able to choose from a large variety of works from different authors. If selecting one has become overwhelming for you because of the sheer number of books, try reading the reviews. The synopsis can also help you decide if the material matches your tastes.

Aside from these, you can also take advantage of sites that are dedicated to avid readers. They often have lists based on topics and popularity. This can introduce you to different items, whether old or more recent. These items can easily be purchased from any local bookstore or online store.

Books about injustice can make for good reading if you want to keep yourself informed about issues regarding fair treatment. Such a subject can tackle courtroom issues, punishments, racism, discrimination and so on. These works can easily be found in any bookstore and in online book shops.
