In my family the approach to justice isnot limited to one single theory. We use what seems to be a combinationof all three theories. The restitution theory states that a victim iscompensated usually by the wrong-doer for his transgressions (Thiroux2014). My husband and I require our children to be responsible to thoseto whom they have caused harm with apologies and sometimes working off debtfrom damaged caused. Other times a more utilitarian approach is used byforcing them to give up their time efforts and money to those in need if it isa better lesson learned (Thiroux 2014). If they behave selfishly havingthem give their time share their goods and spend their money on others is abetter lesson for all. It teaches the kids to be less selfish and allowsthem to see the rewards of giving; while the act of giving to others spreadsmore care time energy and money to a larger group of people for instancevolunteering at the food pantry or helping tutor less fortunate students atschool. Although it is rare that we have to resort to the retribution (eye foran eye) theory we do occasionally use it (Thiroux 2014). When the boysfight or when they are careless with actions we do discipline them with theeye for an eye theory. If one hits the other then the one hit first getsto hit back. If one takes something without asking then the other has theright to pick something to take that belongs to his brother. The lessonthere is to ask first take only what belongs to you and keep your hands toyourself. Using a mixture of the theories works well for ourfamily. We have very well behaved boys who rarely get in trouble useexcellent manners have great grades and are tremendous role models for otherstheir age.
I do not think that any one theory is more logical and justified than theother. I think they each have their strong points as well as theirweaknesses just as the ethics theories do. I believe that differentjustice theories have to be considered depending on the severity of the offenceand the value of the reward deserved. A mild approach would not suit amurderer just as a harsher approach would not suit a learning child.
Thank you for taking time to read mypost. I always love to hear what you have to say.
Warm wintertime wishes

Hi Professor and Classmates
I believe that every now and then therewill be different situations that can change an individuals perspective on howto handle a crisis or issue especially when it pertains to family and friends.When it comes to my family we usually handle situations by following a mixtureof these theories. An example of Results theory would be when my youngercousins would do what they are told by keeping their rooms clean or doing allof their chores they would later be rewarded with an allowance or extra TVtime. The same approach would be in effect if they did not do their chores andthey would not be able to use their electronics or play games.
When it comes to the Compensation theorythe approach that my family has taken has been really effective and is usuallyturned into a learning experience. If one of the cousins were to break theirsiblings toy or bully one another then they would have to apologize and givetheir favorite toy to the sibling that they hurt. There will be mixed opinionson how some families solve their differences. Some of them will follow theDeserts theory no mater what the consequences are. (Thiroux & Krasemann2014). One of my uncles believe that if someone says something snarky or triesto inflict harm then the same should be done towards them an eye for an eyeapproach. Most of these theories have been applied to solve problems and havebeen beneficial in decision-making.
