Helping Others as a Response to Reconcile a Criminal Past (2015, background): “other “generative” activities designed to “give something back” to others in his or her community (Halsey, 2008; Marsh, 2011; Maruna, 2001; Vaughan, 2007).”
Doing time after time: an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of reformed ex-prisoners' experiences of self-change, identity and career opportunities (2010, background): “This also highlights the importance of the individual’s role in desistance, illustrating a shift in how the individual interprets their lives (Leibrich, 1993) and the role personal agency plays in instigating and maintaining desistance (Maruna, 2001; Vaughan, 2007).”
‘I am the person now I was always meant to be’: Identity reconstruction and narrative reframing in therapeutic community prisons (2012, background): “More specifically, understanding tales of desistance – that is, the ‘giving up’ of crime – helps unravel the puzzle of why some people are able to ‘make good’, while others seem eternally ‘doomed to deviance’ (Maruna, 2001; Vaughan, 2007).”
The Role of Transformation Narratives in Desistance Among Released Lifers (2014, background): “Even through it is increasingly recognized that both these factors are necessarily implicated in change (king, 2012; Vaughan, 2007), previous research has still downplayed the role of individual agency, while overestimating the power of social environment to instill law-abiding behavior.”
Identities Through Time: An Exploration of Identity Change as a Cause of Desistance (2016, methodology): “Walters and Geyer (2004) used a variation of Cameron’s (1999) social identity scale to create a measure of one’s social identity as a criminal.”
Protective Factors for Violence Risk in Forensic Psychiatric Patients: A Retrospective Validation Study of the SAPROF (2011, methodology): “We can learn from research on desistance (Ezell & Cohen, 2005; Maruna, 2001; Vaughan, 2007) and knifing-off (Maruna & Roy, 2006), that reductions in violence risk over time can be the result of the processes of aging and maturation.”
