Abstract

Studies of former offenders are few and far between. This is mainly because such research is plagued with the practical problems of finding people, approaching them, and making the interview setting safe for them. This article describes how a success rate of 78% was achieved in a study of desistance from crime in which a sample of 50 people last sentenced to supervision and conviction free for 3 years were interviewed
