Summary

This book presents a series of studies (mostly qualitative) that investigate individual identity transformation from offender status to pro-social, nonoffending roles. Moreover, the work in this volume highlights the perspectives of the men and women who are current or formerly incarcerated people. Each piece provides an empirical analysis of the interaction between current or former prisoners and innovative pro-social programs and networks, which are grounded in the most current theoretical work about individual transformation and change.

Author Biography
