- Self-esteem, shame, cognitive distortions and empathy in sexual offenders: their integration and treatment implications (2009, background): “In this view cognitive distortions are to be expected and do not represent a defect in the offender’s character but rather an understandable response to their situation and to their experiences throughout the judicial processes (Dean, Mann, Milner, & Maruna, 2007; Maruna & Mann, 2006).”
- The measurement and influence of child sexual abuse supportive beliefs (2007, background): “However, research into the nature of sexual offenders’ cognitions has suffered from unclear and inconsistent definitions of the range of cognitive phenomena probably involved in offending (Mann & Beech, 2003 ; Maruna & Mann, 2006 ).”
- Assessing Risk for Sexual Recidivism: Some Proposals on the Nature of Psychologically Meaningful Risk Factors (2010, background): “The risk-relevant attitudes are those that condone sexual offenses in others or in general, rather than the accounts offenders provide to excuse or justify their own specific offenses (Maruna & Mann, 2006).”
- Narrative roles in criminal action: An integrative framework for differentiating offenders (2012, background): “McAdams (1985, 1993, 1999) has been particularly active in promulgating this view. In the context of life stories, McAdams (1993) argues that personal myths are organized according to two themes that he terms Agency and Communion, where Agency is concerned with power and achievement and Communion wi”
- A Model of Neutralization Techniques (2018, background): “Third, blaming the circumstances may be counteracted by deactivating the suggested influence of the circumstances (Copes & Williams 2007) to “replace externalized accounts with internal, stable, global attributions of cause” (Maruna and Mann 2006:157).”
- Batterer intervention programmes: A meta-analytic review of effectiveness (2013, background): “…treatment effects on cognition that sanction and forerun (in comparison to cognitive distortions that have not been shown to precede violence) violence (Maruna & Mann, 2006) –in this case intimate partner violence, what Novo et al. (2012) referred to as the internal mechanisms underlying violence.”
- The Role of Transformation Narratives in Desistance Among Released Lifers (2014, background): “Arguably, our finding that participants from both groups used neutralization techniques to minimize their responsibility in past criminal behavior enabled them to reconstruct their biography and modify their past in a manner that is conducive to their present self-concept (Maruna & Mann, 2006).”
- Assessing female sexual offenders’ motivations and cognitions: an exploratory study (2009, background): “Cognitive distortions can also be observed in the general population to explain behaviour, or act as excuses; and are as common in general offenders who desist from crime, as those who continue to offend (Maruna & Mann, 2006).”
- Automated rationale generation: a technique for explainable AI and its effects on human perceptions (2019, unknown): “alization” to signal that the agency lies with the receiver and interpreter (human being) instead of the producer (agent). Moreover, the word rationalization may carry a connotation of making excuses [30] for an (often controversial) action, which is another reason why we opt for rationale generatio”
