Desistance, Resistance, and Normalcy
This book provides a nuanced, critical analysis of desistance from crime, particularly through the lens of women’s experiences. It develops desistance theory by interrogating the concept of normalcy, highlighting how normative societal expectations cause harms on desistance journeys. Through this lens, the book uncovers tensions between desistance as a journey towards societal (re)integration and the resistance desisters experience when encounter…
No longer happening, not yet resolved: The courthouse as a socio-temporal threshold
This article explores the courthouse as a socio-temporal threshold, where past harms are rearticulated and future outcomes are yet uncertain. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in two Swedish district courts, the study examines how courthouse architectures and atmospheres structure experiences of anticipation, uncertainty, and emotional dissonance for those navigating criminal trials. Drawing on sensory approaches within criminology, the analysis …
First Impressions Last? Lay-Judges’ Assessments of Credible Victimhood
This article explores how Swedish lay-judges assess victims’ credibility in district court. Previous studies have explored how biases and emotional expressions impact credibility assessments. Adding to this, the present study analyses how lay-judges assess courtroom credibility from an intersectional perspective. Based on 24 in-depth interviews with lay-judges, the study explores three intertwined layers of credibility: appearances, narratives an…
Hidden depths: A deep dive into what lies beneath, before, and beyond criminological thought
Fearful futures and haunting histories in women's desistance from crime: A longitudinal study of desistance as an uncanny process
Although desistance is increasingly recognized as a series of complex processes by which individuals transform from offenders into nonoffenders, few desistance scholars have studied this process in depth. In recent years, however, some have begun to explore how desistance is a process rife with setbacks and struggles. Through an analysis of repeated in‐depth interviews with ten desisting women, in this study, we have found such struggles to be un…
Abject (M)Othering: A Narratological Study of the Prison as an Abject and Uncanny Institution
The present study investigates how prison comes across as a culturally constructed imaginary. Drawing on narratological methodologies, the study discusses prison as simultaneously real and imagined in society’s ongoing communication with and about itself. Through an investigation of how prison is presented in autobiographical prison literature, the study shows how culturally held fears of imprisonment surface in terms of abjection and uncanniness…
