Description: Forgiveness Work : Mercy, Law, and Victims' Rights in Iran, Hardcover by Osanloo, Arzoo, ISBN 069117203X, ISBN-13 9780691172033, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "A remarkable look at an understudied feature of the Iranian justice system, where forgiveness is as much a right of victims as retribution.

Less known to outside observers, however, is the Iranian criminal code's recognition of forgiveness, where victims of violent crimes, or the families of murder victims, can request the state to forgo punishing the criminal.

Drawing on extended interviews and first-hand observations of more than eighty murder trials, Arzoo Osanloo explores why some families of victims forgive perpetrators and how a wide array of individuals contribute to the fraught business of negotiating reconciliation. Based on Qur'anic principles, Iran's criminal codes encourage mercy and compel judicial officials to help parties reach a settlement.
