In this follow up to I Was Wrong: The Meanings of Apologies, Nick
Smith expands his ambitious theories of categorical apologies to
civil and criminal law. After rejecting court-ordered apologies as
unjustifiable humiliation, this book explains that penitentiaries
were originally designed to bring about penance - something like
apology - and that this tradition has been lost in the assembly
line of mass incarceration. Smith argues that the state should
modernize these principles and techniques to reduce punishments for
offenders who demonstrate moral transformation through apologizing.
Smith also explains the counterintuitive situation whereby
apologies come to have considerable financial worth in civil cases
because victims associate them with priceless matters of the soul.
Such confusions allow powerful wrongdoers to manipulate perceptions
to disastrous effect, such as when corporations or governments
assert that apologies do not equate to accepting blame or require
reform or redress.
