Penal Cultures and Female Desistance sterman Linna
This book makes a unique contribution to the internationalisation of criminological knowledge about gender and desistance through a qualitative cross-national exploration of the female route out of crime in Sweden and England. The discussion covers departure points, qualitative experiences of criminal justice, as well as barriers and 'ladders' in the female route out. By situating the female desistance journey in diverse penal cultures, the study addresses two major gaps in the literature: the neglect of critical explorations of gender in desistance-related processes, and the lack of internationally comparative perspectives on the lived experience of desistance.Grounded in a feminist methodology - underpinned by a critical humanist perspective - this book draws on 24 life-story narrative interviews with female desisters across Sweden and England.
