Outlines a feminist approach to desistance
Examines and analyses desistance journeys of women with community sentences, to fill a gap in the literature which has focused primarily on the experiences of males
Challenges the trajectory of policies for ensuring that women desist from crime
Appeals to academics interested in desistance, criminal justice, social justice and feminist theory as well as (ex) -offenders and practitioners within probation, prison, police services and voluntary agencies and policy makers
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"I can highly recommend the book to my junior researcher colleagues in sociology, social work and psychology who are interested in the social and societal mechanisms of recidivism and rehabilitation: The way in which the authors combine spirited freshness with a matured sense of reality rethink rehabilitation is a valuable masterclass in how to produce relevant and responsive research." (Cristina Vasilescu, Journal of Probation, November 4, 2019)
