• Assisted desistance and experiences of probation supervision (2013, background): “The importance of the ‘relational’ aspect of the desistance process is also highlighted by Barry (2007) and McCulloch (2005), among others (see, for example: Burnett, 2004; McNeill, 2006a, 2006b).”
• Lifelines (2015, background): “…previous discussions of desistance have attended to normative questions, they focus either on the virtues and vices of desisters (e.g., Bottoms & Shapland, 2011) or on the moral qualities of professional relationships that can encourage desistance (McNeill, 2006; Shapland, Bottoms, & Muir, 2012).”
• The Impact of a Sports Initiative for Young Men in Prison (2014, background): “Exploring the young people’s ideographic experiences has highlighted the importance of ensuring that resettlement interventions offer sustained postrelease support, in addition to the opportunity to develop human capital as well as social capital to ensure that gains made can be maintained after rel”
• An integrative theory of desistance from sex offending (2012, background): “to normalcy (Burnett & Maruna, 2004; McAlinden, 2011; McNeill, 2006).”
• Learning to Escape: Prison Education, Rehabilitation and the Potential for Transformation (2014, background): “…desist from crime which “resides somewhere in the interfaces between developing personal maturity, changing social bonds associated with certain life transitions, and the individual subjective narrative constructions which offenders build around these key events and changes” (McNeill, 2006, p.47).”
• Four forms of ‘offender’ rehabilitation: Towards an interdisciplinary perspective (2012, methodology): “…here; interested readers will find much more developed discussions in a number of recent books and articles (for example, Farrall, 2002; Laws and Ward, 2010; McNeill, 2006: McNeill and Whyte 2007; McNeill, 2009; McNeil, Raynor and Trotter, 2010; Ward and Maruna, 2007; Weaver and McNeill, 2010).”
• ‘I am the person now I was always meant to be’: Identity reconstruction and narrative reframing in therapeutic community prisons (2012, background): “…somewhere in the interfaces between developing personal maturity, changing social bonds … and the individual subjective narrative constructions which offenders build around these key events and changes’ (McNeill, 2006: 47, emphasis added; see also Bottoms et al., 2004; Farrall et al., 2011).”
• The impact of skills in probation work: A reconviction study (2014, background): “A third strand of support for work on individual supervision came from writers who were interested in desistance from offending and in the role of individual agency in the process of desistance (e.g. Maruna, 2001; McNeill, 2006).”
• Prisoners' families and offender management: Mobilizing social capital (2008, background): “…to occur, and how it might be supported and encouraged by policy and practice has been of considerable recent interest to academic commentators (e.g. Bottoms et al., 2004; Burnett and McNeill, 2005; Burnett and Maruna, 2004; Farrall and Maruna, 2004; McNeill, 2004, 2006; Maguire and Raynor, 2006).”
• Changing lives? Desistance research and offender management (2010, background): “…it suggests viewing the desistance process (or ‘journey’) as one which belongs to the ex-offender; it casts the worker as a supporter of the offender’s process; or perhaps as a navigator who helps the offender find their way along a desistance pathway (McNeill 2006; Weaver and McNeill, 2010).”
• Recovery and desistance: what the emerging recovery movement in the alcohol and drug area can learn from models of desistance from offending (2017, positive): “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).”
• People First: Probation Officer Perspectives on Probation Work (2008, background): “Nonetheless, there remains a strong ‘human’ element which is very much in line with current theoretical developments which emphasize ‘desistance’ as a paradigm for work with offenders and a broader approach to probation interventions (see for example Farrall, 2002; Raynor, 2004; McNeill, 2006).”
