- Summary:
- This is one of the two volumes that have emerged from a study that involved eight seminars over several years in Britain. Criminologists and sociologists examine the lives of people after they have finished their involvement with the criminal justice system. The topics include steps towards desistance among male young adult recidivists, understanding marginalized young people's criminal careers, moving from risks to strengths as the basis for a model of offender resettlement, a qualitative longitudinal approach to transition from prison to everyday life, and white-collar offenders' anticipation of release from prison.
