Global Perspectives on Desistance: Reviewing what we know and looking to the future de Joanna Shapland

Global Perspectives on Desistance: Reviewing what we know and looking to the future

Editat de Joanna Shapland, Stephen Farrall, Anthony Bottoms
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 apr 2016

În analiza politicilor de reformă penală, trecerea de la studiul cauzelor criminalității la înțelegerea mecanismelor de abandon al comportamentului infracțional reprezintă o schimbare de paradigmă esențială. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Global Perspectives on Desistance sintetizează datele din peste zece studii longitudinale globale, oferind cadre analitice riguroase pentru practicienii din probațiune și asistență socială. Volumul pune la dispoziția cititorului instrumente practice de evaluare, tabele comparative privind carierele infracționale și modele de analiză a factorilor de mediu care influențează decizia de a înceta activitatea criminală. Observăm o structură logică, împărțită în trei piloni: relația dintre voința individuală (agency) și structurile sociale, evoluția pe parcursul etapelor de viață și impactul direct al intervențiilor sistemului de justiție penală. Abordarea diferă de The Architecture of Desistance de Stephen Farrall prin faptul că este mai puțin axată pe dimensiunea pur societală și mult mai aplicabilă prin prisma datelor empirice extrase din studii de caz specifice, precum cel din Sheffield sau Irlanda. Cartea se integrează coerent în opera colectivă a editorilor, completând perspectivele din Restorative Justice in Practice (de Joanna Shapland) și analizele teoretice ale lui Anthony Bottoms din Crime, Justice, and Social Order. Este o resursă care transformă teoria academică în indicatori de intervenție pentru politici publice de reformă.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această lucrare profesioniștilor din domeniul juridic și social care doresc să înțeleagă nu doar de ce apar infracțiunile, ci cum pot fi ele stopate definitiv. Veți câștiga o perspectivă comparativă internațională și acces la metodologii testate în diverse sisteme de justiție. Este un instrument indispensabil pentru fundamentarea strategiilor de reintegrare bazate pe date factuale, nu pe presupuneri.

Despre autor

Volumul este coordonat de trei figuri proeminente ale criminologiei contemporane. Joanna Shapland este recunoscută pentru cercetările sale în justiția restaurativă, în timp ce Stephen Farrall este unul dintre cei mai prolifici autori în domeniul renunțării la crimă (desistance). Anthony Bottoms completează echipa cu o expertiză vastă în sociologia controlului social și ordinii publice. Împreună, aceștia au selectat contribuții care reflectă cele mai noi tendințe în cercetarea criminologică internațională, publicate sub egida prestigioasei edituri Routledge.

Descriere scurtă

In recent years attention has switched from how adolescents are attracted into crime, to how adults reduce their offending and then stop – the process of desistance. There are now around a dozen major longitudinal and in-depth studies around the world which have followed or are following offenders over their life course, charting their offending history and their social and economic circumstances.
The book is the first to offer a global perspective on desistance and brings together international leading experts in the field from countries including the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Spain, the USA, and Australia to set out what we know about desistance, and to advance our theoretical understanding. Drawing on leading studies, this book sets the academic agenda for future work on desistance and examines the implications and potential positive effects of this research on desistance processes among current offenders.
Global Perspectives on Desistance is divided into three sections:
  • Agency, structure and desistance from crime,
  • Life phases and desistance,
  • Criminal justice and state interventions.
Comprehensive and forward-thinking, this book is ideal for students studying criminology, probation and social work, social policy, sociology, and psychology. It is also essential reading for academic criminologists, sociologists, and policy makers and practitioners working in corrections and reform.

Recenzii

"The study of desistance from crime has truly come of age with this impressive, international collection of some of the best research on the topic to date. Far from being the last word on desistance, the volume raises crucial, new questions for the next generation of studies in this fast-growing area."
Professor Shadd Maruna, Dean of the School of Criminal Justice, Rutgers University – Newark, USA
"Over the last 25 years, research on desistance from crime has burst on the criminological scene. Unfortunately, much of that research has focused solely on the U.S. This volume adds a much needed global perspective to the ongoing discussion. Drawing on empirical research from a wide range of countries, our knowledge of desistance from crime is expanded and enhanced. The section on criminal justice and state interventions in particular adds an important dimension to the desistance debate. While contentious issues remain unresolved, this book is a must read for researchers and policymakers interested in what it takes to move offenders away from crime."
John H. Laub, Distinguished University Professor, University of Maryland, USA
"This volume offers an impressive array of divergent perspectives on the process of desistance from crime, and successfully integrates these diverse outlooks into a coherent story. Drawing on an assortment of varied research methodologies and cultural settings, the authors take stock of the state of knowledge on desistance and provide a useful roadmap for future desistance research."
Lila Kazemian, Associate Professor, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY, USA
"In this very rich and truly international (albeit with a strong European base) collection, classical desistance discussions (e.g. hooks for change, social capital, cognitive and narrative changes, etc.) are updated and extended both theoretically (notably by integrating developmental theories), and in terms of research subjects (e.g. agency, and structural, economic, and cultural contexts). Importantly, this exciting edited book reveals how desistance theory now appears ready to start developing alternative treatment methods, and to move beyond a mere desistance paradigm (e.g. regarding criminal records or probation sanctions policies). This integrated volume reveals how mature desistance research has become."
Professor Martine Herzog-Evans, University of Rheims, France
