This book contributes to our knowledge of desistance in a
developing country. Offering an intercultural dialogue with
mainstream explanations, Transitions Out of Crime analyses the
transition from crime to conformity among a group of Chilean
juvenile offenders. Desistance from crime is not just the cessation
of criminal activity itself, but a process of acquiring roles,
identities, and virtues; of developing new social ties, and of
inhabiting new spaces. This book offers new evidence that shows
that the traditional binary between the 'reformed desister' and the
'anti-social persister' is inaccurate and that the road to
desistance contains various oscillations between crime and
conformity. Furthermore, this study shows the role that gender
plays in shaping, limiting and structuring pathways away from
crime. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal
to those engaged in criminology, sociology, penology, desistance,
rehabilitation, gender studies and all those interested in the
transition from crime to conformity outside the Anglo-American
orthodoxy.
