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 (Thiroux,2014).  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 suProject WACC
