Title: Desisting from crime
Product review: Because of prison overcrowding here in California, many have been released early from prison and sent to outpatient clinics. Hence, many of them have come to see me. This book helped me a lot while working with those who have been in and out of prison for years.Shadd Maruna actually studied the narratives of those who have desisted from crime with those who haven't and found significant differences in the way they think. To determine how likely it was for a client to return back to prison, I would compare their narratives with those in the book.While recidivism rates continue to be high, this book does give one hope as everyone does eventually desist from crime.
