ABSTRACT
The arguments and analysis offered thus far make a case for seeing the relations between facts and values in criminal justice contexts as more complex and informative than is suggested by positivism. Normativity is pervasive in the human world. In addition, there is more to values-discourse than expressive meaning, and facts often have normative significance. To put the point very directly, the answer to the question, “Where in the world are moral values?” is that they are all around us because many of the facts concerning actions, practices, and institutions are morally significant. (This is the case even if the metaethics is projectivist.) Ethical significance can be found in any setting in which there is human experience and activity.
