Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Criminal sympathy

Hi! I am currently enrolled in Forensic Psychology as well as Motivation and Emotion and as a part of the requirements for that unit, I attended some hearings at both the Magistrates and Supreme Courts. If you have the capacity to do so I would recommend you also spending some time there - it was extremely engaging and thought provoking. I personally found that being a public observer to hearings where families and loved ones of the defendant were present elicited more sympathy and empathy from me - perhaps this is something you would like to consider including and expanding upon when developing your book chapter. I am also quite happy to collaborate with you further on this if you see helpful. Feel free to reach out. --U3160654 (discuss • contribs) 02:17, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi! Im doing a topic related to this and thought some of my ideas might be useful. The social and self-stigma that criminals face can cause some psychological disorders. My main point is how employment, even after full rehabilitation, is quite hard to obtain. And how a criminal record can stay with someone both emotionally and physically throughout most of their life. I found this link very helpful: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5067087/ Hope this helps! U3178428 (discuss • contribs) 11:12, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
