The issue states that the emotions may be parsed into primary, basic or universal emotions–happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust-and secondary or social emotions–embarrassment, jealousy, guilt and pride. Furthermore, scholars have recently distinguished between anticipatory emotions and anticipated emotions. Anticipatory emotions are the immediate reactions to risks, whereas anticipate emotions are those we expect to experience in future. In this issue,it is explained that the functions of emotion and the processes by which they influence behavior, with particular reference to antisocial behavior. One function of emotions that they explore here is that of social connection;emotions help us understand and relate with other people. Negative emotions and emotional dysregulation can lead to social rejection. Overall the role of emotions in explaining and treating offending is an important subject area. In this special issue, reviews and research on emotion and offending are presented by international experts. It is hoped that clinicians and researchers alike will appreciate this update and that clinical practice and research will be edged forward as a result.
