Desistance by Design: Offenders' Reflections on Criminal Justice Theory, Policy and Practice

Abstract: This article highlights the views and advice of offenders in Scotland about what helps and hinders young people generally in the process of desistance, why interventions may or may not encourage desistance and what criminal justice and other agencies can do to alleviate the problems which may result in offending. The findings suggest that probation-style supervisory relationships with workers are still the key means to promote desistance but given the fact that offenders perceive desistance to be 'by design' r… Show more

“…Also, those foster care youth who are using illegal drugs, and report a high use of legal drugs may have greater likelihood of misuse/dependence issues, as opposed to experimental or recreational use. Our findings suggest a crucial need for appropriate and targeted education and awareness, and other focused intervention policy/practice to work towards desistance (Barry, 2006;Barry, 2013).…”

“…Même s'il s'agit d'une profonde modification dans la conception de la personne contrevenante, des stratégies d'intervention et même des objectifs à atteindre, on observe étrangement une quasiabsence d'études portant sur les interventions prodiguées par les agents de probation au Québec (Lalande, 2012 ;Quirion et Vacheret, 2010). On note également une pauvreté d'études portant sur le rôle de l'agent de probation dans le ou les processus de désistement du crime des contrevenants (Barry, 2013 ;Farrall, 2002Farrall, , 2004Farrall et Maruna, 2004 ;McCulloch, 2005 ;McNeill, Farrall, Lightwoler et Maruna, 2012 ;Rex, 1999Rex, , 2001. Finalement, on « demande rarement [aux personnes contrevenantes] si les interventions qui leur sont destinées ont été favorables à leur désistement du crime » (Barry, 2013, p. 47).…”

“…C'est dans la phase secondaire du désistement que l'on observe que l'identité sociale de contrevenant est définitivement abandonnée et que l'individu vient à se percevoir et à être perçu comme une « personne changée » (Maruna, Immarigeon et al, 2004, p. 19). Or, il y a une quasi-absence d'étude portant sur la perception des interventions des agents de probation chez les désisteurs secondaires (Barry, 2013). Dans la présente étude, sont considérés désisteurs secondaires les individus qui n'ont pas été reconnus coupables et n'ont pas admis avoir commis de délits depuis leur sursis, qui ont constaté des changements sur le plan identitaire et qui considèrent très improbable le fait de commettre à nouveau des délits 5 .…”

“…Engaging 8 with these challenges tended to be demanding, but with the supervisor's help, penal subjects consistently reported an improvement in their position (Mair and Mills, 2009; see also McCulloch, 2005). The development of skills and attitudes was particularly important in the context of community-based penal subjects, who were facing the consequences of societal, communal, and economic responses to their conviction even as they were punished (Barry, 2013;Hayes, 2015: 94-96;Nugent and Schinkel, 2016).…”
