Untreated

The widespread mistreatment of people persists because the question of “How does our society end the mistreatment of people?” is kept out of the center of general attention by the question of “How does our society reserve mistreatment for those people who ‘deserve’ it?” The latter may be a workable position in a world in which concepts like fairness and justice can be objectively derived and known via the scientific method. But at present, those concepts are arbitrary and applying them leads just as (if not more) often to anger and resentment as to the resolution of injuries.
