Hostile architecture is among the symptoms of the hostile modern city, where neighbours never say hi, and people die on the streets as people walk passivly by.
We start with society where this is no state. Where private property does not exist. The wage system has been abolished. In this society we already eliminate factors that cause people to commit crimes. In this society you are not a slave to earning money to pay for private or personal property. Today if you do not earn money for private or personal property then you are homeless. Without aid you will die.
Justice in this society does not have the same character. Today it is two-party and it seems that the two-party model of disputes is a single unit of people, and a unit of the thinnest sort, whose only imply is “has property,” “is an aggressor,” “defends themself,” “kills so and so". This is a severely individualistic view of people that is not characteristic of an anarchist society of commune and mutual aid.
Any justice system is going to exist in the context of economic institutions. If there are inequality of power in the economic and society then you have to imagine society as bizzare and weirdly compartmentalized in order to believe that those inequalities will not to reflect themselves in justice or law. And the economically powerful will be unable to manipulate the legal and judicial system to their advantage. But this is the character of today's two party so-called justice system.
Today, justice is not just.
