  • Summary

    Justice requires that each receive what they are due. Survivors are due full compensation. Responding to the regulative ideal of full compensation, the first part of this chapter sketches how a programme might set appropriate payment values, arguing that while those values will vary from time to time and place to place, they will be more credible when co-developed with survivors. Moreover, policymakers need to use the best available techniques when appraising the compensatory value of injuries. Later parts of the chapter criticise paternalistic techniques that withhold money from survivors or pay them in-kind and consider how payments should be communicated, reflecting on the role of apologies and on the beneficial potential of communal ceremonies.
