Law and emotion scholarship has emerged in the US since the late 1980s. It has challenged the conventional notions that reason and emotion are separate, and law should privilege reason. It has pointed out that law has actually been long interacted with emotions. It is just the emotionalization of criminal justice in the recent years has brought scholars’ attention to the role of emotion in the law. This newly-emerged field of law has not only changed our understanding of law, but, more importantly, helped us to address issues that have been brought by punitive sentiments of the public. Since Taiwan has been equally troubled by emotionalization of criminal justice, it is important for Taiwanese scholars to engage more law and emotion researches, and develop an emotionally intelligent justice system.
