Routledge White-Collar Offenders and Desistance from Crime

Explore the complex dynamics of elite criminality with White-Collar Offenders and Desistance from Crime: Future selves and the constancy of change. Part of the International Series on Desistance and Rehabilitation, this Routledge publication addresses a significant gap in criminological research. While high-profile events like the MPs' expenses scandal and the international banking crisis have highlighted how the justice system treats elite individuals, there has been very little research on what happens to these offenders after their convictions. This study provides a necessary examination of the post-conviction process for white-collar offenders. It investigates how these individuals navigate life after punishment and the methods they use to avoid reoffending. By focusing on the transition away from criminal behavior, this book offers a unique perspective on the rehabilitation and desistance processes within the context of high-status transgression. It is an essential resource for those studying law, criminology, and the social impact of white-collar crime.
