1. the
action of the
group against the
individual when he has failed to get his own
ethics in.
(HCOB 15 Nov 72 II) 2.(1)
moral rightness;
equity.
(2)
honor, fairness.
(3) good
reason.
(4) fair
handling: due reward or treatment.
(5) the
administration and procedure of the
law.
(HCO PL 3 May 72) 3. fair and
equitable treatment for both the
group and
individual.
(HCO PL 24 Feb 72) 4. justice safeguards
rights, prevents
injustice, prevents punishment by whim, and brings
order. Justice prevents wrongful disgrace,
demotion,
transfer or dismissal and protects the
staff member's reputation and
job from being falsely threatened.
(HCO PL 17 Mar 65 II) 5. to us, justice is the
action necessary to restrain the
insane until they are cured. After that it would be only an
action of seeing fair
play is done.
(HCO PL 14 Dec 70) 6. an
effort to bring
equity and peace.
(HCO PL 14 Dec 70) 7. the
purpose of justice is to make a safe
environment for the many.
(FO 2257) 8. justice would consist of a refusal to accept any
report not
substantiated by
actual,
independent data, seeing that all such reports are investigated and that all investigations
include confronting the accused with the accusation and where feasible the accuser, before any disciplinary
action is undertaken or any
condition assigned. While this may slow the
processes of justice, the personal
security of the
individual is totally dependent upon
establishing the full
truth of any accusation before any
action is taken.
(HCO PL 24 Feb 69) 9. an
action to deter disorder and secure the
public safety. It is a
short-
term method of
bringing order and it is needed for all
dynamics.
(HCOMOJ) 10. the whole
subject of justice subdivides for a
Scientologist into four phases. These are
(1)
intelligence activities,
(2)
investigation of
evidence,
(3) judgment or punishment,
(4)
rehabilitation.
(HCOMOJ) 11. justice is one of the guards that keeps the
channel of progress a
channel and not a stopped
flow.
(HCO PL 17 Mar 65 III) 12. there can be no personal
security without easily accessible, swift and fair justice within a
group. The
jurisprudence employed must be competent, acceptable to the members of the
group and effective in accomplishing good
order for the
group and personal
rights and
security for its
individual members. Justice used for revenge, securing advantages for a clique increases disorder. Justice should serve as a means of
establishing guilt or innocence and awarding
damages to the injured. The
fact of its
use should not pre-
establish guilt or award. Justice which by its
employment alone establishes an atmosphere of guilt or greed is harmful and creates disorder.
(HCO PL 7 Sept 63) 13. could be called the
adjudication of the
relative rightness or
wrongness of a
decision or an
action.
(AP&A, p. 10) 14. the impartial
administration of the
laws of the land in accordance with the
extant level of the
severity-
mercy ratio of the people.
(PAB 96) 15. don't ordinarily put a head on a pike unless it's the
right head. But remember that there are
times when it's vitally necessary to put some head, any head, on a pike to quell rising disorder. Just remember that justice is an
action to deter disorder and secure the
public safety. But if you do put the
wrong head on a pike, be sure to put it back on the
body again as soon as the need for its being on a pike is over. Justice is not always the
matter of an
individual. It is a
short-
term method of bringing orders and it is needed for all
dynamics.
