ABSTRACT:
A tunnel collapses in Africa, fatally injuring a young miner. Common concepts of individual liability are inadequate to account for the injustice that led to his death. A social connection model elucidates the underlying structural injustice and the responsibility of individuals who dwell in these structures.
