Apology is a small but significant part of justice offered to a victim. It is meant to generate some sort of reconciliation between the perpetrator and the victim, but also for the perpetrator with itself. However, for this to happen, the perpetrator has to be willing to take responsibility for the wrong/crime it has committed. The extent to which we live today in a culture that makes room for an ethics of apology is open to question
