Does unconditionally forgiving other people's sins encourage them to sin again? [Spirituality & Religion]

I believe we should forgive other people's sins. God is the One who is to judge people, not us. However, I'm worried about this mentality just making people sin more. If noone's going to judge them (but God, to Whom they're disobedient to, anyways), why not do it again?

I agree with @Pinkstarburst. Plus I’m sure that the person you’re forgiving will feel less depressed (if they’re remorseful) and you can feel better too. It all good. Right?

But I’m curious, can you forgive the person for doing you wrong and be completely reconciled?
