I want an article on the topic;judgement based on t*t for tat is dangerous for civilized society (for debate)

Question

pls send as soon as possible

Answer 1

The legal term for that sort of judgment is "lex talionis" which is Latin for law of equivalency.  It is also called "Proportionate Punishment."  A search on either of these terms will get you good articles on the ethics of this sort of justice.

Here are some links to articles you can use:
