Weisman's effort to probe the contested meanings that remorse holds in our culture, law, and morality has yielded a tour de force.'Constance Backhouse, University of Ottawa, Canada'In the legal system, much depends on whether an accused wrongdoer shows appropriate remorse, yet little attention has been paid to how and why remorse should be exhibited. Richard Weisman's important book explores what the community expects from a remorseful wrongdoer and what happens - or ought to happen - when those expectations are thwarted.'Susan Bandes, DePaul University College of Law, USA'In this carefully argued and researched volume, Richard Weisman provides an original examination of the concept of remorse. The work constitutes a valuable addition to the literature on this complex issue and will be of great interest to sociolegal scholars and legal practitioners alike.'Julian V. Roberts, University of Oxford, UK'While contemporary criminal justice is officially secular and fact-driven, offenders are nevertheless expected to show remorse, and lack of visible remorse can have a marked negative impact in parole and probation contexts as well as in sentencing. In this innovative work Richard Weisman explores the complex emotional, psychological and legal issues raised by the criminal justice's system unwritten expectations about offending and remorse. The book will be of interest to criminologists, sociolegal scholars, forensic psychologists, defence lawyers, and judges, but it is also accessible to the general public.'Mariana Valverde, University of Toronto, Canada Prize: Winner of the Canadian Law and Society Association Book prize for 2015 Prize: Honorable Mention for the 2014 Distinguished Book Award of the Sociology of Law Section of the American Sociological Association: 'The work is deeply researched, persuasively argued and lucidly written... This book adds nuance and depth to a much considered topic and so makes a most significant contribution to the intellectual wealth of our field.'

Mariana Valverde, University of Toronto, Canada '... expectations surrounding remorse are likely an ineradicable feature of our criminal justice system. Seeing them for what they are-an endeavor to which Weisman contributes immensely - is an essential step toward building a system that addresses and channels those expectations in the most just way possible.' Criminal Law & Criminal Justice Books 'This fascinating book will be of interest to criminologists, sociologists and penal theorists and... places a burden on practitioners and policymakers to re-examine the justifications underlying, and guidance constraining, the penal significance of remorse.'
