One of the values of community psychology is social justice.Social justice involves

A) strengthening the existing political structure in a community
B) punishing criminals using socially sanctioned penalties
C) the equitable distribution of resources and opportunities
D) balancing the needs of humans and the natural world

Social justice in community psychology emphasizes and advocates for the equitable distribution of resources, opportunities, and access to basic human rights among individuals and groups within a community. This includes addressing issues such as poverty, discrimination, and oppression, and promoting social policies and interventions that help to reduce these inequalities. Strengthening political structures or punishing criminals may be important in certain contexts, but they do not necessarily promote social justice in and of themselves. Balancing the needs of humans and the natural world is also important, but it is not the primary focus of social justice in community psychology.
