Empathy                                                        

Author: Michael Bacula

Empathy is based on an inverse relationship between empathy and anti-social behavior – as empathy increases, anti-social behavior decreases. Learning to understand and appreciate the feelings of others can offset self-centered thinking that supports tendencies to blame the victim, deny responsibility, and underestimate the effects of criminal behavior. Empathy gives the corrections professional strategies and practical activities to help an offender increase his or her degree of empathy on a cognitive and emotional level and thus move towards becoming contributing citizens.
