This book examines the role of religion and spirituality in
desistance from crime and disengagement from gangs. Drawing upon
in-depth interviews with male gang members and offenders as well as
insights gathered from pastors, chaplains, coaches and personal
mentors, the testimonials span three continents, focusing on the
USA, Scotland, Denmark and Hong Kong. This volume offers unique
empirical findings about the role that religion and spirituality
can play in enabling some male gang members and offenders to
transition into a new social sphere characterised by the presence
of substitute forms of brotherhood and trust, and alternative forms
of masculine status. The author presents critical insights into the
potential relationship between religious and spiritual
participation and the emergence of coping strategies to deal with
the 'stigmata' that gang masculinity leaves behind. With its
wide-ranging and multi-perspective approach, this book will be
essential reading for students and scholars of gang culture,
masculinity and spirituality, as well as policy makers and
practitioners.
