What is the goal of criminal justice; when does justice override humanity?

We aim to touch upon:

1. What is the Goal of Criminal Justice?
   Is the justice system meant to deter, punish, rehabilitate, or restore? What does each goal say about our values as a society — and how do these aims reflect deeper philosophical tensions between autonomy, social control, and state power?

2. When Does Justice Override Empathy?
   In a world fragmented by inequality and mistrust, when do fairness and accountability demand a pause on empathy, compassion, or understanding? How do we navigate justice without losing our humanity?
