Evidence

What these three types of exclusion bring into play is a collective attitude that presupposes that ‘those excluded from the scope of justice are seen as: psychologically distant, undeserving of constructive obligations, and eligible for harms that would be unacceptable for those inside the scope of justice’ (Opotow, 2011 , p. 207). — Cristian Tileagă, The Nature of Prejudice, 712
