How the Resettlement of Prisoners Promotes Desistance from Crime: Or Does It?

Publication year: 2006 | Cataloged on: Oct. 31, 2006
ANNOTATION: The relationship between reentry and deterrence is investigated. Sections of this article are: abstract; resettlement -- old and new agendas; current models of desistance; resettlement and desistance -- convergence or divergence; the Resettlement Pathfinders and the "FOR--A Change" cognitive-motivational program; and conclusion -- good and bad news. While it appears released prisoners can be resettled, society doesn't seem to want to.
