This book examines the extent to which criminal desistance - 'the
change process involved in the ending of criminal behaviour' - is
affected by personal and social circumstances which are place
specific. Grounded in criminological spatial analysis, as well as
more general social scientific investigations of the role of space
and place in contemporary social, economic and cultural life, it
examines why large numbers of prisoners in the United States and
the United Kingdom appear to be drawn from - and after release
return to - certain urban neighbourhoods. In doing so Criminal
Behaviour in Context assesses the effect of this unique life course
experience on the pathways and choices open to ex-prisoners who
attempt to give up crime. Including new data on the geographical
distribution of offenders, interviews with serving prisoners, and
drawing on theories about social context, identity and
subjectivity, it discusses the implications of the evidence and
arguments presented for prisoner reintegration policy and practice.
