Remorse is a powerful, important and yet academically neglected emotion. This book, one of the very few extended examinations of remorse, draws on psychology, law and philosophy to present a unique interdisciplinary study of this intriguing emotion. The psychological chapters examine the fundamental nature of remorse, its interpersonal effects, and its relationship with regret, guilt and shame. A practical focus is also provided in an examination of the place of remorse in psychotherapeutic interventions with criminal offenders. The book's jurisprudential chapters explore the problem of how offender remorse is proved in court and the contentious issues concerning the effect that remorse - and its absence - should have on sentencing criminal offenders. The legal and psychological perspectives are then interwoven in a discussion of the role of remorse in restorative justice. In Remorse: Psychological and Jurisprudential Perspectives, Proeve and Tudor bring together insights of neighbouring disciplines to advance our understanding of remorse. It will be of interest to theoreticians in psychology, law and philosophy, and will be of benefit to practising psychologists and lawyers.

In a very normal town, on a very normal street in a very normal house lived an extraordinary individual. I chose the word extraordinary reader but I could have just as easily used fantpurb, incrazing possibly even brilltastic and at appropriate times I can assure you I will do my best to record in detail the times when Mack Moogerson was all these things but extraordinary is of course spelt correctly and does the job of describing almost anything in this world with the right balance of interesting and indeed strange and that my friends is how to define a Moogerson. Moogerson's have to the best of my knowledge been around us for as long as the world's history books have been written, re-written then written again. I have had the distinct privilege of acquiring or should I say been acquired by one myself and as I have already stated his name is Mack. In a very short time we have shared numerous adventures exploring and discovering so many wonderful and sometimes dangerous things. I have done my best to keep track of other Moogersons's I have been introduced to along the way and here seems to be the best and most appropriate place to introduce these special beings and share the tales I have come to call the "Moogerson Rhyming Bestiary" with you
