Remorse and Reparation (Hardcover)

Remorse, or rather lack of it, frequently features in banner headlines. However, there is little systematic study of this important interdisciplinary topic whose relevance has extensive social ramifications. This volume is the first comprehensive attempt to bring together both forensic clinicians and those working within the criminal justice system. Discussed are questions like: Is there a correlation between the experience of remorse and a diminished likelihood or re-offending?, and What is the complex relationship between remorse, shame quilt and attempts at reparation?
