Remorse

'This is a really welcome book. Remorse is important in mental health and criminal justice contexts and in everyday life but has rarely received the comprehensive analysis required. The authors demonstrate their wide-ranging expertise in addressing psychological, philosophical, legal and cultural aspects. A gem. Highly recommended.' Kevin Howells, University of Nottingham, UK 'A subtle and insightful account of remorse and its role in sentencing, arguing persuasively that remorse should be recognised as a mitigating factor, but that its absence should not count as an aggravating factor. Important reading for moral philosophers as well as for anyone interested in criminal punishment and sentencing.' Antony Duff, University of Stirling, UK '... I was stimulated by this book enough to recommend it to readers with the leisure to consider the topic. It will be time well spent.' Yale Journal for Humanities in Medicine 'The subject matter of Remorse is important for both psychology and law. Proeve and Tudor's treatment of it is thought provoking, well researched, and original...' Psychiatry, Psychology and Law 'The book is comprehensive of its subject matter, exceptionally well researched by reference to very extensive source material, attractively formatted and constructed and its contents flow sequentially toward a well- argued set of conclusions. It is therefore a remarkable academic piece.' Medicine, Science and the Law
