Remorse in offenders appears in a number of criminal justice domains. It is a mitigating factor in sentencing, influences parole decision making, may be influential in offender rehabilitation, and may be valued in forensic mental health. However, evaluation of remorse presents challenges in relation to evidence for remorse and expectations about its performance. Nevertheless, remorse is embedded deeply in criminal justice. The consideration of remorse in relation to emotions of shame, guilt and regret may offer an approach for evaluating remorse in sentencing and for addressing remorse in offender rehabilitation. This approach to understanding and working with remorse requires further elaboration, development and testing.
罪犯的悔恨出现在多个刑事司法领域。它是量刑时的一个减轻因素,影响假释决策,可能对罪犯改造有影响,并且在法医精神健康方面可能受到重视。然而,对悔恨的评估在悔恨证据和对其表现的期望方面存在挑战。尽管如此,悔恨在刑事司法中根深蒂固。将悔恨与羞耻、内疚和遗憾等情绪联系起来考虑,可能为量刑时评估悔恨以及在罪犯改造中处理悔恨提供一种方法。这种理解和处理悔恨的方法需要进一步阐述、发展和检验。
