It is well known that the category of finite groups has no non-trivial injective objects. In general, a group is said to be quasi-injective if for every subgroup H of G and homomorphism f:H → G there exists an endomorphism F:G → G such that F|H = G. In other words, a group is quasi-injective whenever each homomorphism from a subgroup into the group can be extended to the whole group.
