| Abstract: | The effect of the expression of remorse, shame and regret by an offender on judgments about a man who committed an assault offence, and on recommended punishment and suitability for rehabilitation, was investigated. The effect of previous criminal history on judgments and recommendations was also examined. Participants were members of the community. The offender was generally judged more harshly when the regret was expressed, but remorse and shame were similar in their effects. The results are discussed in terms of the demonstration of shame and remorse, and the perceived significance of these emotions for the rehabilitation and punishment of offenders. Keywords: Remorse, Shame, Regret, Rehabilitation, Punishment |
