The battle between crime and justice has existed in every society throughout the course of time. On the one hand, crime is what disrupts social harmony through actions that harm others. And on the other hand, justice seeks to punish wrongdoers, protect people, and maintain law and order.
Like every dark force has an opposite power that tries to repel its effect and perish it all together, a light that diminishes the darkness; this is the exact case between crime and justice.
Let us find out, in this article, more about this ongoing conflict between crime and justice and explore the complexities of limbo.
The Enigma of Crime
Just as a chameleon changes its colors to survive and adapt, crime, too, shifts itself – striving to survive in the ever-changing social and economic problems. Many forms and faces of crime unfold once the need arises.
Although law enforcement agencies such as the FBI or the CIA do their best to tackle these issues – they often find themselves grappling with the enigma of crime.
And what makes crime and justice so intervened? When civilizations grew, criminal behavior began to increase; what better way did they find to overcome it than by creating laws and punishments? None.
The lack of opportunities and poverty are often the establishing factors for crime. This is where justice comes in and addresses these issues for the fair treatment of everyone.
But does justice prevail?
When Randy from Rules of Limbo found himself at a crossroads; to pursue justice or remain in a state of limbo, despite the difficulties, he knew what had to be done. What would you do if you found yourself in his place? Would you stay in limbo (an ideal place for organized crime), accept death, or seek justice?
Bear in mind that seeking justice is no easy feat. It is an exhaustive process with zero guarantees of resolution. So, before heading out to find your murderer, as Randy did, know that multiple obstacles are placed on the path to justice.
The Path to Justice
Justice is a concept woven very well into the fabric of societies. It is a place of equilibrium where wrongdoers are held accountable so their victims can find closure. Ancient societies believed severe consequences would deter potential wrongdoers, so they often resorted to harsh and brutal punishments.
Social perceptions and cultural norms impact the way we perceive crime and justice. (This may have sometimes led to unjust practices towards marginalized populations).
To learn more about crime, justice, and the state of limbo, Rules of Limbo by Tamatha Rawls and Aralyn Kraft is an excellent choice for you. In this book, the protagonist – Randy – faces the ultimate choice. To stay in limbo (the perfect hiding spot for organized crime), or find the truth about his murderer?
