'justice' regarding 'crime and punishment' in our society.

Try to define 'justice' regarding 'crime and punishment' in our society. What is justice, in essence, within that framework? Punishment? Retribution? Deterrence? Correction? Protecting society from harm? Maintaining the status quo (a tradition and social order to be upheld and continued unchanged) and, if so, can it be separated from another concept, 'social justice?'
