criminal justice oxymoron

The term which states that "criminal justice" are two words which contradict one another.
Justice cannot, and must not be, criminal. To call that academic field CRIMINAL JUSTICE insinuates that the justice is criminal, therefore unfair, in fact, law-breaking. The term CRIMINAL JUSTICE is insane. That's why I call it the "criminal justice oxymoron." Anyone in their right (correct) mind will vote to replace that term with, for example, SOCIAL JUSTICE.
