Group Guilt (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Guilt is the state of being responsible for the commission of an offense. It is also a cognitive or an emotional experience that occurs when a person realizes or believes accurately or not that he or she has violated a moral standard, and bears significant responsibility for that violation. It is closely related to the concept of remorse."Guilt" is the obligation of a person who has violated a moral standard to bear the sanctions imposed by that moral standard. In legal terms, guilt means having been found to have violated a criminal law, though law also raises 'the issue of defences, pleas, the mitigation of offences, and the defeasibility of claims'.
