Beschreibung

The volume of studies into desistance has grown dramatically in recent years. Much of this research has focused on the internal dynamics of desistance such as decision-making, choice and restraint. Bringing together leading figures and drawing upon case studies from around the world, this book seeks to fill a vacuum in the contemporary literature on desistance by considering processes and practices at a societal level that influence how and why people desist from crime.

Beginning with an outline of what is known about how social, cultural and economic structures shape desistance from crime, this book proceeds to explore studies of desistance in countries such as the UK, Brazil, France, Israel, Ireland, Sweden and Chile. These studies touch on variations by ethnicity, the nature of the criminal justice system, economic cycles, gender, religious belief systems and the use of time and space. Policy matters relating to desistance such as the rehabilitation and supervision of former offenders are also explored.

This book will be invaluable reading to students and scholars of criminology, sociology and social studies engaged in studies of desistance, criminology, criminal justice, victimology, penology and probation.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Architecture is a product of both structure and culture - two aspects that have been badly neglected in the desistance discussion to date. This fascinating collection of some of the most important voices in the desistance literature may represent the redemption the field needs in this regard. Very exciting work!"

Shadd Maruna, Professor of Criminology, Queen's University Belfast, UK

"The Architecture of Desistance sheds valuable light on the social forces impacting offending and desistance from crime. Collectively, the contributors challenge traditional perspectives on desistance to more directly consider cultural, historical, institutional, and systematic factors that influence the process of desisting. This timely contribution will enhance the field's cross-national understanding of desistance."

Bianca Bersani, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Massachusetts, USA
