Desistance and Societies in Comparative Perspective
«
Shadd Maruna,

"The literature on desistance from crime has gone global in recent decades, but lacks a comparative framework for understanding cultural differences in these socio-cognitive dynamics. With this fascinating cross-cultural analysis, Dana Segev has opened up an exciting and much needed new direction in the field that will become a catalyst for future work of this kind."
Fergus McNeill
Professor of Criminology & Social Work
University of Glasgow
'By examining desistance amongst probationers in England and Israel, Dana Segev’s book makes a critically important contribution to the 'coming of age’ of desistance research. Through a careful and compelling elaboration of previously under-developed connections between sociological theory, comparative criminal justice and desistance theories — and via her own empirical work -- Segev helps us understand the socio-structural, cultural and interactional dynamics at play in desistance processes. This book is a must-read for desistance and probation scholars, students and practitioners alike.’
David Best
Professor of Criminology

"Desistance and societies in comparative perspective" extends desistance literature beyond Anglo-European countries to include Israel, uses a comparative lens lacking in much prior work and identifies social/societal factors that differ between locations. Dana writes beautifully and this is a major work for desistance scholars to consider".
