Contributions of Longitudinal Studies on Understanding the Process of Desistance: Lessons from 4 Studies
Wed, Nov 19, 9:30 to 10:50am, Marriott, Salon 4, Lower B2 LevelSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
The complexities associated with reentry pale challenge the methods used to study the process of desistance. Across the globe, a series of international studies has undertaken a better understanding of the psycho-social and ecological factors that affect desistance, or persistent offending. These studies have used longitudinal designs that collect data during the period of incarceration (often several times) and post-release (several times). The impact of longitudinal designs on better understanding factors that affect desistance will be highlighted in the papers in this panel.
