• Examining the process of offender change: the transition to crime desistance (2009, background): “the external gratification of crime, desistance must be maintained by internal motivations that involve self-regulation, intrinsic rewards and long-term goals (Maruna, 2001; Maruna et al., 2004).”
• Implementing Trauma-Informed Care in Correctional Treatment and Supervision (2018, background): “of a felony label hinders employment, housing stability, and social support, and can foster profound disempowerment, social isolation, hopelessness, and shame (Braithwaite, 1989; Laub & Sampson, 2001; Maruna et al., 2004; Uggen, Manza, & Behrens, 2004).”
• Desistance and Attitudes Towards Sex Offenders: Facilitation or Hindrance? (2010, background): “Not only might such labels perpetuate an image of sex offenders as a qualitatively distinct group, but they could also induce a negative pygmalion effect in individuals with a history of sexual offending (Maruna et al. 2004).”
• Still blaming the victim of intimate partner violence? Women’s narratives of victim desistance and redemption when seeking support (2016, methodology): “Like the recovery processes of offenders (Maruna et al., 2004; Uggen et al., 2004), women had to to prove they were capable of being ‘more than just a victim of IPV’.”
• Assisted desistance and experiences of probation supervision (2013, background): “This distinction between these two ‘types’ of desistance is frequently made within the literature (for example: Gadd, 2006; Maguire and Raynor, 2006; McNeill and Maruna, 2008; Maruna et al., 2004; Maruna and Toch, 2005).”
• ‘I am the person now I was always meant to be’: Identity reconstruction and narrative reframing in therapeutic community prisons (2012, background): “…enhancing and capacity-building roles and to demonstrate attributes and identities not normally associated with incarcerated criminals, and thus to perceive of difference within themselves: the Pygmalion effect of higher expectations resulting in higher performance (Maruna et al., 2004).”
• Identities Through Time: An Exploration of Identity Change as a Cause of Desistance (2016, background): “In addition, our findings are supportive of the “redemption” policies that have been recently advocated by criminologists (Maruna, 2001; Maruna et al., 2004).”
• Recovery and desistance: what the emerging recovery movement in the alcohol and drug area can learn from models of desistance from offending (2017, neutral): “‘We argue that the notion of ‘‘rehabilitation’’ (or ‘‘recovery’’ in the highly related arena of addiction treatment) is a construct that is negotiated through interaction between an individual and significant others’ (Shover 1996 cited in Maruna et al. 2004, p. 273).”
