520 "Past studies have suggested that offenders desist from
crime due to a range of factors, such as familial
pressures, faith based interventions or financial
incentives. To date, little has been written about the
relationship between desistance and racialisation. This
book seeks to bring much needed attention to this under
researched area of criminological inquiry.Martin Glynn
builds on recent empirical research in the UK and the USA
and uses Critical Race Theory as a framework for
developing a fresh perspective about black men's
desistance. This book posits that the voices and
collective narrative of black men offers a unique
opportunity to refine current understandings of
desistance. It also demonstrates how new insights can be
gained by studying the ways in which elements of the
desistance trajectory are racialised.This book will be of
interest both to criminologists and sociologists engaged
with race, racialisation, ethnicity, and criminal justice.
