Evaluating Specific Drivers of Antisocial Cognitions and Personality: A Desistance Informed Perspective

This research investigates innovative psychological measures within a correctional setting to better understand various risk factors for re-offending. It utilises the risk-need-responsivity model and integrates findings with a desistance-informed perspective to explore the progression from active offending to crime cessation, and ultimately, to prosocial reintergration. The aim is to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of how individuals reintergrate into society following a period of criminal behaviour. Additionally, it hopes to encourage further research into desistance practices, promoting rehabilitation efforts that are more strengths-based, holistic, and humane.
