Focusing on the lives of first and second generation British
Pakistani young adult men and those approaching middle age, who
offend or have offended, and the experiences of their fathers
bringing them up in a de-industrialised city, this book examines
the influence of social relations on their moves toward and away
from crime, particularly the impact of father-son relationships. It
seeks to understand their transitions as they aged; the meanings
they place on their ethno-cultural, social and economic
marginalization; and the licit and illicit opportunities and
constraints that influence identity and social integration, and
their place in British society. British Pakistanis and Desistance
focuses on the distinct social, cultural and economic context and
the relations in which their offending and desistance takes place,
such as family formation, education, prison, neighbourhood change
and long-term changes in the types, availability and quality of
work. Sketching a ‘life-course’ approach, it locates desistance
theory and its application within the relationship between
biography and social structure, using a case study of
entrepreneurial criminality as an attempt at recovery from
de-industrialisation. An accessible and compelling read, this book
will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, sociology,
desistance, social policy and all those interested in the lived
experience of British Pakistani men.
