Examining the process of offender change: the transition to crime desistance (2009, background): “A greater percentage of offenders indicate a desire to stay crime-free upon release compared to those who are actually able to desist (Burnett, 1992, as cited in Maruna, 2001).”
A fundamental attribution error? Rethinking cognitive distortions † (2006, background): “Research on ex-prisoners who have been able successfully to desist from crime finds these active responsibility themes to be far more prevalent than internal, stable and intentional attributions for one’s past crimes (Maruna, 2001; Stefanakis, 1998).”
Reflections on social values, offending and desistance among young adult recidivists (2011, background): “In our own sample, work tended to be casual work and came from personal contacts, though this was rare – for example, nearly 60 per cent had had no job of any kind, including casual work, in the year before the first interview (Shapland and Bottoms, 2011).”
Attitudes towards sexual offenders: what do we know, and why are they important? (2017, background): “Willis et al. (2010) drew upon criminological literature around desistance from crime (Carlsson, 2011; LeBel et al., 2008; Maruna, 2001; Sampson & Laub, 2003) to suggest that societal negativity subsequently acts as a hindrance to successful community reintegration.”
Pygmalion in the reintegration process: Desistance from crime through the looking glass (2004, background): “Certainly, almost all individuals who successfully go straight often seem to rely on a ‘‘personal voucher’’ / a person of good moral standing who will act as a witness to their reformed character (Maruna, 2001).”
SPIRITUALITY AND RELIGION, EMOTIONAL COPING, AND CRIMINAL DESISTANCE: A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF MEN UNDERGOING CHANGE (2009, background): “Previous qualitative work on behavioral change related to religion or spirituality has also been hampered by the widely varying stages of desistance occupied by the subjects interviewed (Laub and Sampson 2003; Maruna 2001; Giordano et al. 2002; Terry 2003).”
The treatment of sex offenders: Risk management and good lives. (2003, background): “In his groundbreaking work on the self-narratives of offenders who desist from further crime, Maruna (2001) found that in order to be effectively rehabilitated, individuals need to establish an alternative coherent and prosocial identity.”
The good lives model and conceptual issues in offender rehabilitation (2004, background): “The weightings or priorities allocated to specific primary goods is constitutive of an offender’s personal identity and spells out the kind of life sought and, relatedly, the kind of person he or she would like to be (see Maruna, 2001).”
Ex-Offenders Reentering the Workforce. (2007, background): “Similarly, criminal justice researchers recognize the strong effects of social networks in desistance from crime and in recidivism (Maruna, 2001).”
Desistance From Crime (2007, background): “Maruna (2001) argued that “subjective aspects of human life (emotions, thoughts, motivations, and goals) have largely been neglected in the study of crime” (p. 8).”
