Dear Jeffrey,
Sometime ago, after we met for the first time, I started wondering what makes people forgive others.
So -- I asked about 500 people how likely they are to forgive, befriend, hire people who were accused of different crimes, after they have served their sentence according to the law.
This is far from an ideal study, but what you see in the attached file is that crimes related to sex do worse than anything else (even murder), and that violations or government rules are the easiest for people to forgive.
I realize that this is not good news for you, and I have no intentions to offend, but I am sending it to you in case you are interested. And if you want to talk about where to take this research or other questions, let me know.
