Beyond Remorse: Understanding Those Who Do Not Regret Their Actions
“Beyond remorse” refers to, individuals who exhibit a lack of regret or guilt for their actions, often associated with a personality disorder like antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), where people may not understand the harm they cause others and therefore do not feel remorseful, even when confronted with the consequences of their behavior.”
In a February 18, 2025 essay, No Regrets, in VERDICT, Cornell law professor Joseph Margulies discusses his book project about society’s tendency to ostracize wrongdoers and explores the complex role of remorse in how society judges and responds to those who have committed serious transgressions. Professor Margulies grapples with a particular challenge in his research—how to address cases where individuals who have committed wrongful acts feel no remorse for their actions, using examples like January 6 rioters and abortion providers in different states—and invites such individuals to share their perspectives. Below, we include an abstract of Professor Margulies’ essay, including a link to his complete posting, a list of key points about people who lack remorse and some potential causes.
