   • 1971, Johnson, Lyndon, The Vantage Point‎^[1], Holt, Reinhart & Winston, →ISBN, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 39:

     I was not just the President of Southern Americans or white Americans. I was the President of all Americans. I believed that a huge injustice had been perpetrated for hundreds of years on every black man, woman, and child in the United States. I did not think that our nation could endure much longer as a viable democracy if that injustice were allowed to continue.

3. Unfairness; the state of not being fair or just.
   • 2011 October 1, Phil McNulty, “Everton 0 - 2 Liverpool”, in BBC Sport‎^[2]:

     The game was engulfed in controversy when Rodwell appeared to win the ball cleanly in a midfield challenge with Suarez. The tackle drew an angry response from Liverpool's players- Lucas in particular as Suarez writhed in agony - but it was an obvious injustice when the England Under-21 midfielder was shown the red card.

使用する際の注意点

• Injustice and unjust use different prefixes, as French injustice was borrowed into English, while unjust was formed as un- + just. The spelling injust, from French injuste, is very rarely used, and unjustice, from un- + justice, is nonstandard.
