This book brings together a collection of emergent research that
moves the debate on desistance beyond a general consideration of
individual and social structural influences. The authors examine
empirical developments which have implications for policy
surrounding resettlement and re-offending, but also for punishment
practices. Presenting thought-provoking theoretical advances and
critiques, the editors challenge and enrich traditional
understandings of desistance. A wide range of chapters explore how
some criminal justice interventions hinder the desistance process,
but also how alternative approaches may be more helpful in
promoting and supporting desistance. Thorough and diverse, this
book will be of great interest to scholars of criminology and
criminal justice, social policy, sociology and psychology, and of
special interest to researchers and practitioners working with
(ex-)offenders.
