This book aims to shed light on the reasons why offenders cease to commit crime. Drawing on a variety of methods, including in-depth interviews with repeat offenders and their probation officers, police records, and psychometric scores, the book explores and describes the shifts that occur in desisters’ minds and lives as they make the often turbulent transition to a crime-free life.
