Sinopsis

This book examinesádesistance from offending amongst men in County Cork - the largest county in the Republic of Ireland. It examines theábigger picture of desistance, namely how offending and recovery from addiction are inseparable processes. It draws onáin-depth interviews with 40 mená who had engaged with the criminal justice system, and the chapters which follow trace the participantsâÇÖ life histories: from the hardships they endured as children through their recollection of their reckless teenage years into active addiction and their often numerous attempts at recovery and eventually, for most, full recovery. Itáchallenges some of the dominant assumptions that exist around desistance, and discusses topics such asátoxic masculinity.áItáoffers aápractice friendly account of the academic work on desistance and a multidisciplinary holistic account of the process of doing desistance.á
