"One thing, however, is sure, - that in all cases the effort should be to impose all the cost of repairing the wrong upon the doer of the wrong. This alone is real justice, and of course such justice is necessarily free"
- Benjamin Tucker
About this Quote
This quote by Benjamin Tucker stresses the significance of holding perpetrators accountable for their actions. He recommends that the expense of repairing the wrong need to be imposed on the offender, as this is the only way to guarantee true justice. This is an important principle, as it ensures that those who have done wrong are held responsible for their activities and that the targets of their misbehaviors are not left to bear the burden of the consequences. It also acts as a deterrent, as criminals will be much less likely to devote wrongdoings if they know they will certainly be held accountable for their activities. This quote is a reminder that justice should be complimentary which offenders must be delegated their actions.
