Barriers and Limitations of Employment in Desistance
Through narrative interviews with 16 men leaving prison in Aotearoa New Zealand, the current research contributes to the literature on the role of employment in desistance by emphasising some of the barriers to (or limitations of) its desisting effects. In particular, the study emphasises structural constraints in the colonial setting of Aotearoa New Zealand, which can prevent Indigenous Māori men from obtaining stable, rewarding work. The study …
Women's Desistance in a Colonial Context
This book adds to global knowledge of pathways out of crime (desistance) by exploring the desistance narratives of 15 women with histories of imprisonment in Aotearoa New Zealand (10 of whom identify as Māori, New Zealand’s Indigenous population). By voicing these women’s experiences, the book adds to desistance research by moving beyond the mainstream Western nations which dominate desistance literature (such as the United States and UK), to exp…

A Safe Place to be Happy and Content’
Through narrative interviews with 15 women with histories of imprisonment in Aotearoa New Zealand, this article explores the role of housing and ‘home’ in women’s desistance. The article argues that safety and control are key psycho-social benefits of ‘home’ that support women’s ontological security. The women’s ‘homes’ – as sites of safety and control – could provide a space for them to construct drug and crime free identities and ultimately ‘do…
Working Through Desistance
Desistance and re-entry literature has traditionally explored particular types of women’s relationships and social roles (such as maternal identities and familial relationships), while neglecting the potential for employment and work-related roles to support change. Through interviews with 15 (predominantly Indigenous) women with histories of imprisonment in Aotearoa New Zealand, this article contributes to feminist literature on women’s desistan…
“Go and Look in the Mirror and Make a Change, Mum”
This article is derived from the first New Zealand-based study to examine in detail the potential role of motherhood in women’s desistance. Narrative interviews were carried out with 13 mothers, predominantly Māori,11 Māori are New Zealand’s Indigenous population. with histories of incarceration. For one woman, becoming a mother for the first time was a clear turning point in her desistance. For most of the women, motherhood did not function as a…
Stable housing, ‘home’ and desistance
There has been little theoretical development concerning the role of housing and the more subjective notion of ‘home’ in supporting desistance from crime. Through narrative interviews with 16 men with histories of imprisonment in Aotearoa New Zealand, this article explores key psycho-social benefits of home that support men to desist from crime. The article expands knowledge on the role of place and space in desistance by emphasising that to full…
