Women, Trauma, and Journeys towards Desistance: Navigating the
Labyrinth provides an examination of women's desistance from crime
from a gender-responsive, trauma-informed perspective. The book is
based on the reflections of fifty-six women over a three-year
period as they transition from custody to the community. With the
women, the author examines how experiences of trauma,
victimisation, and intersectional oppression constrain access to
traditional desistance supporting processes, including supportive
relationships, identity construction, the exercise of agency, and
engagement with treatment and interventions, reframing these
processes from trauma-informed perspective. The book joins together
the women's insights and experiences with principles of
gender-responsive, trauma-informed principles in a framework
through which criminal justice practitioners can support women in
their efforts to leave crime behind. The framework for practice is
a fusion of concepts from desistance theory, principles of
gender-responsivity, and trauma-informed practice designed to help
women understand the root causes of the problems they face in the
present whilst building on their resilience and strengths to
achieve their goals for their futures. This book is ideal reading
for scholars and students of criminology and criminal justice,
particularly rehabilitation, gender and crime, and feminist
criminology. It will also be of interest to academics and
practitioners of forensic psychology and social work, as well as
probation officers, social workers and prison officers.
