This collection of essays by scholars of diverse backgrounds
explores the notion of repentance in our culture, focusing on
individuals who have been excluded from society as a result of
violating its laws. What must these individuals do to gain
redemption and be readmitted? Amitai Etzioni argues that the lack
of a well-grounded concept of civic repentance has significant
negative social consequences for our society. Denying people the
opportunity to regain their social standing and membership in their
communities is simply unfair, and the absence of such opportunities
for restoration through repentance exacts heavy social costs. The
essays in this collection address these issues from a variety of
perspectives and discuss possible ways of filling this void,
including restorative justice, physician rehabilitation programs,
and religious reconciliation rituals.
