Google Preview: A comprehensive attempt to bring together forensic clinicians and those working within the criminal justice system, this text examines the complex relationship between remorse, shame, guilt and attempts at reparation. It asks such questions as: should a show of remorse by an offender be taken into account in sentencing ?; is there a correlation between the experience of remorse and a diminished likelihood of re-offending?; and is there a correlation between the experience and the expression of remorse?; Part I Clinical perspectives, Andrew Horne et al. Part II Legal perspectives, John Harding et al. Part III Complementary perspectives: moral philosophy, Alan Thomas; theology, Alistair McFadyen; Shakespeare studies, John Wilks; classics, Douglas Cairns; sociology, Caroline Cox and Michael Borgeaud; anthropology, Nancy Scheper-Hughes; Kierkegaard, Alice Thielgaard and Bjarne Jacobsen.; This is a book all magistrates, probation officers and QPMs should read.

The case studies quoted are very much to the point ... Two essays particularly impressed me. David Tidmarsh, now of the Parole Board, was formerly on the staff of Broadmoor Hospital. He draws attention to the lack of reference to remorse in the Board's remit, which is concerned only with risk ... John Harding of the Inner London Probation Service quotes examples, including two well-known ones from Barlinnie, where moral reformation has occurred.'; Google Preview content
