• Four forms of ‘offender’ rehabilitation: Towards an interdisciplinary perspective (2012, background): “Desistance can only be understood within the context of human relationships; not just relationships between workers and offenders (though these matter a great deal) but also between offenders and those who matter to them (Burnett and McNeill, 2005; McNeill, 2006).”
• Prisoners' families and offender management: Mobilizing social capital (2008, background): “…there is a need to recognize the broader social context and conditions which are required to support this process (Farrall, 2002, 2004; McCulloch, 2005; McNeill, 2004), and to engage with and sustain offenders’ own ‘narratives’ of change (Burnett and McNeill, 2005; Maguire and Raynor, 2006).”
• The Good Lives Model in Practice: Offence Pathways and Case Management (2011, background): “Correctional officers are often viewed as compliance monitors in addition to being a central co-ordinating body to the many services offenders are often linked in to (see Burnett & McNeill, 2005).”
• People First: Probation Officer Perspectives on Probation Work (2008, background): “…literature on the reduction of re-offending suggests that the processes of personal change in thinking, attitudes, and perceptions of self are as important as services to meet offenders’ practical needs (Farrall, 2002; Dowden and Andrews, 2004; Burnett and McNeill, 2005; Hough et al., 2006).”
• Changing lives? Desistance research and offender management (2010, background): “That said, if there was once a risk of ignoring the importance of change processes and supports beyond programmes (Burnett and McNeill, 2005), then there is perhaps now a risk of rejecting or dismissing the role that programmes can play.”
• Assisted desistance and experiences of probation supervision (2013, background): “However, others have suggested that there are promising signs that the ‘officer offender relationship’ has been reinstated within probation (Burnett and McNeill, 2005), and it has been argued that probation officers themselves strive to maintain this interpersonal link (Annison et al.”
• Recovery and desistance: what the emerging recovery movement in the alcohol and drug area can learn from models of desistance from offending (2017, unknown): “In the application of this model in probation, the emphasis has been on the process of individual change through relationships including those with professionals (Burnett & McNeill 2005; McNeill 2006).”
• The impact of skills in probation work: A reconviction study (2014, methodology): “Although generally critical of the RNR tradition, the desistance theorists did argue that the right kind of individual supervision was one of several factors which could significantly facilitate the onset and maintenance of desistance (Burnett and McNeill, 2005; Weaver and McNeill, 2012).”
