As `offenders’ turn their backs on crime, they often change their identities as well as their behaviour, yet we know much less about how reforming identity might be affected by gender, age or ethnicity. This book showcases research from a wide range of authors in the field. It considers the similarities and differences between desisting from crime and recovering from addiction. Taking the desistance and recovery debates in unfamiliar directions, it examines the experiences of change for individuals seeking healthier and more successful futures
"This collection provides an interesting introduction and, in some cases, fresh empirical insights, into some less discussed aspects of identity. It will be useful for anyone grappling with the role of gender in processes of change" Probation Journal
"Showcases original and innovative research which offers a rich examination of the multifaceted and complex nature of identity providing a unique, in-depth exploration of the ways in which structural contexts, gender ethnicity, and community dynamics impact the process of identity change." Sam King, University of Leicester
"provides insightful research findings which consider how personal change is initiated and sustained in ways that will doubtless be of relevance to practitioners and scholars of desistance." - Drugs, Education, Prevention and Policy
