Desistance and Recovery in the Academic Literature

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedings › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

The link between addiction and offending is well established, however, the relationship is complex, and a range of causal models exist. This chapter explores the existing models that explain the relationship between addiction and offending and considers their relevance for a population of persistent offenders with multiple convictions. This chapter goes on to critique the literature on desistance and recovery examining issues of recidivism, and the relationship between the process of desistance and recovery from addiction. Finally, the chapter explores social identity, and psychological and narrative approaches to understanding desistance and recovery.
