Why do some ex-offenders desist from re-offending?
"Criminals who stop offending and permanently ‘desist’ from crime, and become ‘ex-offenders’ is the subject covered by the theory of desistance. Desistance theory provides a theoretical framework for understanding this behavior by taking into account the process of rehabilitation, and in particular the variables within an ‘ex-offender’s life, that provide an environment fit for rehabilitation and not re-offending".
Defining desistance
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
