Description

Review "Honorable Mention for the Association for Political and Legal Anthropology Book Prize in Critical Anthropology" "Honorable Mention for the Clifford Geertz Book Award, Society for the Anthropology of Religion" "The value of Arzoo Osanloo's book lies in improving our understanding of the legal system and the nuances of Iranian criminal law. . . . [Osanloo] also makes us ask if we can learn from the Iranian experience, and if mercy and forgiveness could be applied elsewhere. The book is an invitation to grasp such notions and their functionality."---Usman Butt, Middle East Monitor "Winner of the Herbert Jacob Book Prize, Law and Society Association" Product Description A remarkable look at an understudied feature of the Iranian justice system, where forgiveness is as much a right of victims as retribution Iran's criminal courts are notorious for meting out severe sentences-according to Amnesty International, the country has the world's highest rate of capital punishment per capita. 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. Forgiveness Work shows that in the Iranian justice system, forbearance is as much a right of victims as retribution. 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. As no formal regulations exist to guide those involved, an informal cottage industry has grown around forgiveness advocacy. Interested parties-including attorneys, judges, social workers, the families of victims and perpetrators, and even performing artists-intervene in cases, drawing from such sources as scripture, ritual, and art to stir feelings of forgiveness. These actors forge new and sometimes conflicting strategies to secure forbearance, and some aim to reform social attitudes and laws on capital punishment. Forgiveness Work examines how an Islamic victim-centered approach to justice sheds light on the conditions of mercy. About the Author Arzoo Osanloo is associate professor in the Department of Law, Societies, and Justice and the director of the Middle East Center at the University of Washington. She is the author of The Politics of Women’s Rights in Iran (Princeton).
