It is appropriate to begin with a definition of terms, specifically that of social justice. Novak (2000) examines the difficulty in defining
social justice in absolute terms. "The minute one begins to define social justice, one runs into embarrassing intellectual difficulties. It becomes, most often, a term of art whose operational

Jinks (1997) refers to the law enforcement and judicial activities of a mature economy; his observation becomes gross understatement when applied to developing nations. Segregation of Social Justice and
Anthropology Certainly the conditions described by these research teams qualify for Novaks (2000) broad definition of social justice. Whether anthropologists "should" become
involved has been the object of old prohibitions against effecting no changes within study populations. The very presence of researchers carries the potential of altering the social group being
studied (Reyna 406). Whether they produce valid, reliable research often depends on the way they have approached the groups they study. Critical
theory on social justice is versatile and can be applied to groups of virtually any size, from a small band of individuals to a national and even international scale.
