“…17 Others understand reform as the historically prior practice of providing 'opportunities for education and contemplation in support of the reform of one's moral character' and rehabilitation as the more recent (twentieth century) practice of using (primarily psychological) interventions aimed at 'correcting offenders personality traits, behaviours or attitudes'. 18 But not all employ this distinction or indeed agree that such a distinction can or should be made. We will use rehabilitation to refer to both what has been called rehabilitation and what has been called reform.…”

It is often said that the institutions of criminal justice ought or—perhaps more often—ought not to rehabilitate criminal offenders. But the term ‘criminal rehabilitation’ is often used without being explicitly defined, and in ways that are consistent with widely divergent conceptions. In this paper, we present a taxonomy that distinguishes, and explains the relationships between, different conceptions of criminal rehabilitation. Our taxonomy distinguishes conceptions of criminal rehabilitation on the basis of (i) the aims or ends of the putatively rehabilitative measure, and (ii) the means that may be used to achieve the intended end. We also explore some of the implications of each conception, some of the payoffs of a taxonomy of the kind we offer, and some areas for future work.

“…Ruth advocated that in order to make the most of any therapeutic work with the individual, a wholeprison approach was needed to enable and reinforce progress. She supported prisons in England and Wales to explore the idea of a "rehabilitative culture" as a means of mitigating the pains of imprisonment (McNeill, 2014). She developed a model, now widely adopted in the prisons of England and Wales, which outlines some of the evidence-based features of a rehabilitative culture (Mann et al, 2018).…”

This editorial eulogy recognises the work of Dr Ruth Mann (1965-2020), a friend, colleague, mentor, pioneer and trailblazer in forensic psychology in the UK and internationally. Our field has lost an influential psychologist who paved the way for more humane and effective services for people at the centre of our research and practice, exemplifying the attributes of both the highly skilled scientist and sensitive clinician. We hope that through acknowledging Ruth's enormous contributions and many talentsher super-sharp brain, her compelling communication skills, her interest always in seeking collaboration, her kindness in sharing insights and genuine joy in developing the skills of others, her enduring commitment to try and do the right thingwe can encourage others to continue on the path that she has so clearly set out for us. Ruth began her career as a prison psychologist at a time when the world knew little about how to help men with sexual convictions towards lives free of offending. Ruth led a systematic programme of work to develop ways of working with this group of men that followed the evidence base, was aligned with emerging best practices elsewhere in the world and was subject to ongoing challenge and scrutiny. Her commitment to research was evident from the start of her career and continued throughoutseeing her publish in excess of 80 publications (many of these papers are listed on the ResearchGate website which notes that her work has been read by nearly 40,000 people). Her publications include collaborations with some of the other leading people in our field including

“…Desistance and the ‘desistance paradigm’ are beginning to contribute widely to European and British probation practice (Council of Europe, 2010; NOMS, 2014). McNeill (2014) conceptualises desistance as a process of human development in social context; one that involves moving away from offending and into compliance with law and social norms. Desistance-focused perspectives seek to promote those things thought to be associated with desistance, such as strong social bonds, pro-social involvements and social capital (Farrall, 2004).…”

“…AssetPlus reflects an integrative approach, with the view that assessment involves identifying risk and protective factors in a young person’s life, but that it is not enough just to note their occurrence (Baker, 2014). As a consequence, the design and use of AssetPlus is informed by the GLM framework of offender rehabilitation (Willis and Ward, 2014) and desistance approaches (McNeill, 2014).…”

This article examines the extent to which the risk needs responsivity (RNR) model and desistance principles have been integrated and operationalised in the development of the Enablers of Change assessment and sentence planning tool developed by a Community Rehabilitation Company provider in England. We consider the constructs that underpin the tool, identifying points of departure and similarity between RNR principles (Andrews and Bonta, 2007), the ‘good lives’ model (Ward and Maruna, 2007) and desistance principles (McNeil and Weaver, 2010) and their integration. We examine how these constructs have been operationalised in the tool, which aims to assess needs, strengths, protective factors and contribute to risk assessment. Given the tool’s innovation, this article is of international significance and will make an original contribution to the evidence base on operationalising desistance in the management of people with convictions in England and Wales and other jurisdictions.
