Understanding Desistance from Crime… : DASH Story 2015-05-28
Story content
Thanks for sharing the article. I am the coordinating chaplain for Baptist Care, the community services branch of the Baptist Churches of South Australia. Part of my role includes supporting and developing programs which support offenders and ex offenders. In particular I look at ways churches as accepting, non-offending communities can provide support to offenders, especially on release. So studying desistance theory and the insights it provides into how mentoring programs for example can effectively support offender desistance and use their social capital to support offenders overcome blocks to a non offending lifestyle like unemployment is invaluable. So again thanks for sharing.
