Why do people stop offending? What are the processes they undergo
in stopping? What can be done to help more people who have offended
put their pasts behind them? The growth of interest in why people
stop offending and how they are resettled following punishment has
been remarkable. Once a marginal topic in criminology, it is now a
central topic of research and theorising amongst those studying
criminal careers. This book is both an introduction to research on
desistance, and the report on a follow-up of two hundred
probationers sentenced to supervision in the late 1990s. The reader
is introduced to some of the wider issues and debates surrounding
desistance via a consideration of the criminal careers of a group
of ex-offenders. This lively engagement with both data and
theoretical matters makes the book a useful tool for both academics
and students. The book will appeal to undergraduates, postgraduates
and academics studying criminology, criminal justice, sociology,
social work, social policy and psychology, as well as trainee
probation officers.
