1. The document discusses supporting desistance from crime through reconfiguring penal practices based on research. Desistance research aims to understand the process of stopping offending rather than just evaluating "what works." 2. Desistance is a complex, individual process that involves developing a non-criminal identity. It requires hope, strong relationships, and social reintegration opportunities. Penal practices should recognize this and support strengths, agency, and hope. 3. Eight principles are outlined for supporting desistance through penal practices, including individualization, recognizing progress, building on strengths, and fostering social integration and generative roles. Appreciative inquiry is proposed as an approach.

Hinweis der Redaktion
- Much of the more recent literature highlights commonalities in processes of desistance btwn men and women. BUT: Giordano et al. (2002) suggest that despite the commonalities between males and females - women more likely than men to cite ‘religious conversions’ and parenthood as catalysts for change. This is broadly compatible with Rumgay’s (2004) theorisation of women’s processes of desistance - rooted in the recognition of an opportunity to claim an alternative, desired and socially approved personal identity. Certain common identities, she suggests, such as that of a mother, may provide a ‘script’ by which to enact a conventional pro-social role, serving to enhance self efficacy and assist in perpetuating the newly acquired identity . Consensus that women’s desistance is related to investment in relational commitments, manifesting in generative concerns and the assumption of responsibility (Barry 2007). These include marriage, familial and parental responsibilities, awareness of peer, familial and societal disapproval, commitment to religious beliefs, and concerns re impact of continuation of offending (see Jamieson et al. 1999; McIvor 2007; Barry 2007). Practice requires to support women’s efforts to change through the provision of services which take account of the realities of their lives, of what is important to them and of the social demands placed upon them. practices that provide practical and emotional support to them in meeting those responsibilities and commitments that are significant to them. This might include addressing, for example, housing and financial problems, assistance with child care, access to meaningful education and employment opportunities, and support to strengthen social and familial support networks. Creative practice would be focused on empowering women to take control of their lives, to access opportunities not only to increase their capacity to accumulate (social) capital, but to expend capital. But equally creative practice must avoid inappropriately universalized or stereotypical assumptions about women’s relational commitments, generative concerns or socially valorized desires to assume caring responsibilities. Other pathways to desistance need to be opened up and supported for women who chose other ways to realize their femininities.
