All justice is 'social' rather than individual, since its about how a civil society functions. What would 'non-social justice' be?
Adding 'social' in front of 'justice' is like adding 'orange-colored' in front of 'orange'. Either it's justice, plain and simple, or it's something else being hyped as justice.

“Social Justice” = Concept of fair/just relations between individual and society. John Locke’s concept of “justice”, for example, is much more limited/quite different.

no, what they mean is to treat justice as applying to identity groups. it's an important and dangerous difference.

"Social justice" is a tautology or, in a kantian terminology, an analytical judgement

So how do you distinguish it from criminal justice or family justice?

Justice is a real thing. "Social justice," as Hayek said, is a mirage. Or, as I put it: "Social justice is individual injustice."

Was that before or after Hayek praised Pinochet’s Chile for its “individual” (read: economic) freedom? Not the best dude to quote on that topic IMO. Generally, I think there need to be limits to both “social” and “individual” justice to make a society function and worthwhile.
