Justice is incidental to law and order.

Summary

This quote suggests that justice is not the primary objective of law and order, but rather a secondary outcome. It implies that laws and orders are put in place primarily to maintain peace and stability within a society, regardless of whether they result in true justice. This perspective challenges the assumption that justice and law always go hand in hand, emphasizing that justice can sometimes be overlooked or disregarded in the pursuit of maintaining social control.
