Justice and its administration have evolved. Japan implements the Sibyl System in the 22nd century, an objective method of evaluating each citizen's threat level by examining their mental state for evidence of criminal intent, known as their Psycho-Pass. Inspectors maintain the law by subjugating, often with fatal force, anybody holding the least ill-will; beside them are Enforcers, jaded Inspectors who have turned into latent criminals and are permitted relative freedom in return for carrying out the Inspectors' dirty job.
