Discovering Desistance
Facilitating knowledge exchange in relation to desistance from crime
Theme: Prevention
This project facilitates and advance knowledge exchange in relation to desistance from crime and how 'offender' supervision in the community can best support it. The project involves the production of a documentary film and workshops to explore how we could get better at supporting desistance from crime. For details of current progress and outputs to date, see the project blog: http://blogs.iriss.org.uk/discoveringdesistance
The project is led by Fergus McNeill (University of Glasgow). Other partners are Stephen Farrall (University of Sheffield), Claire Lightowler (IRISS) and Shadd Maruna (Queen's University Belfast).
Outcomes
- Improved access to and awareness of research about the process of desistance from crime and supporting desistance
- Increased dialogue amongst stakeholders on desistance.
