Question by Clarity: How to tell if someone is truly remorseful?
If someone makes the same mistakes over and over, could they truly be remorseful? Are some people just stuck in a certain behavior and can’t dictate themselves out? Is forgiving them automatically putting myself as the victim again? When do I know the person will never change and they have no remorse for the pain they have caused?

Sure, in some cases… like the practicing alcoholic.

Five Major Problems:
Prohibiton was nearly impossible to enforce.

Serious crimes, such as homicides, assault, and battery, increased nearly 13 percent, while other crimes involving victims increased 9 percent.

Organized crime (gangsters) developed in major cities and bootlegging increased.

Deaths from poisoned liquor rose from 1,064 in 1920 to 4,154 in 1925.
