Martha Minow writes about the power – and nuance – of forgiveness for The Boston Globe.
“To ask how laws may forgive is not to deny the fact of wrongdoing,” Minow writes. “Rather, it is to widen the lens to understand larger patterns at work and visualize a more constructive path forward for all. When it comes to the justice system, saying — and hearing — “I forgive you” may prove to be the most just thing we can do.”
