I am not talking about cases with catastrophic ends, but what sometimes influences somebody to take a case is the attitude of the offender, or the perceived offender. Very often, hands-up apologies can be proffered and some sort of mitigation offered. What is awful is when people come out to the steps of a courtroom and say nobody ever apologised. In what scenario does that become almost a culture? What advice would the SCA give in respect of something like that?
