Political justice is the impartial application of the criminal justice system to the disadvantage of particular individuals or groups because of their perceived non-constitutional activities. Meanwhile, political rights allude to a person's capacity to participate in a country's civil activities without constraint and are closely related to citizenship status. This volume states that there are no universally legal standards for political activity as differentiated from other forms of social action. Something is political if it relates in an incredibly rigorous way to the interests of a community. Each dominant class, group, or individual will develop criteria based on which reprehensible acts, when sufficiently severe, will necessitate public action, according to its estimates and needs. Consequently, an infinite number of "political" factors could be included, excluded and re-entered into the formal definition of a political crime.
