Routledge White-Collar Offenders and Desistance from Crime - Routledge

This scholarly work explores the critical gap in criminological research regarding white-collar offenders after conviction. Drawing on in-depth analysis of elite individuals prosecuted through criminal justice systems, the book examines how offenders attempt to avoid reoffending following punishment. Set against the backdrop of high-profile scandals including the MPs' expenses crisis in England and Wales and the international banking crisis, this study provides sustained consideration of post-conviction trajectories and rehabilitation outcomes for white-collar criminals. Part of the International Series on Desistance and Rehabilitation, the book addresses how offenders construct future selves and navigate the constancy of change, filling a significant void in criminological literature on elite crime.
