I believe the answer is:

scandal

'see injustice' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'glance at withdrawn boy' is the wordplay.
'glance at' becomes 'scan' (I've seen this in another clue).
'withdrawn' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'boy' becomes 'lad' (informal term for boy).
'lad' backwards is 'dal'.
'scan'+'dal'='SCANDAL'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scandal that I've seen before include "Shock" , "Event causing public outrage" , "Outrageous event" , "something injurious to one's reputation" , "Malicious gossip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
