Abstract
In the sentencing decision process, what function, if any, is served by remorse? Remorse scholarship has tended to focus on normative questions of whether and how remorse ought to influence sentencing decisions. More recently, research is exposing the difficulties and dangers faced by judicial sentencers seeking to evaluate the authenticity of expressions of remorse. Distinctively, however, we ask why, despite its apparent irrationality, judges and lawyers seem compelled to focus on the attitude of the person to be sentenced.
