Answer 1

Answer:

b) The concept that rules should be clearly stated and consistently and impartially enforced.

Explanation:

Procedural justice is the concept that rules should be clearly stated and consistently and impartially enforced. It is the believe that fairness in the procedures or process of resolving dispute is paramount.
