Desistance Reserarch And Its Relevance For Criminology And Criminal Policy Anthony Bottoms

Desistance Reserarch And Its Relevance For Criminology And Criminal Joanna shapland’s research interest in desistance from crime began through some conversations with anthony bottoms. at around the turn of the millennium, he had become interested in the mechanisms underpinning people’s compliance with laws and was keen to undertake empirical research on desistance–a topic that was then beginning to. We want to argue therefore that desistance research is (or at least can be) a form of ‘alternative criminology’ both in the way it frames its objects of inquiry and in the ways it pushes it.

Criminal Policy And Criminological Theory Criminal Policy And Informed by a comprehensive review of theories and research into desistance (weaver, 2015. offending and desistance: the importance of social relations. oxon: routledge), this article advances a critical and contemporary overview of the main theories of desistance, drawing on illustrative empirical research.

Critical perspectives on desistance. writing in the mid 2000s and following from emerging evidence from desistance studies, mcneill (2006: 39) proposed that research on desistance offered a new ‘paradigm for offender management’. insights from desistance research, he argued, not only provided emergent evidence about the ways in which people. In criminology, we have researchers and we have practitioners and never the twain shall meet. thus, it is unclear how much if at all desistance research has influenced criminal justice policy or practice (maruna and immarigeon 2004). desistance research, as hover argues, has much to offer criminal justice policy. rather than focusing on.

Only recently, however, have researchers started to forge links between studies of desistance from crime and ‘what works’ in offender management policy (see especially, maruna and immarigeon 2004). this ‘coming together’ of research into why people stop offending and the (re )emergence of concerns with effective practice is, like many.
