This qualitative study of theoretical frameworks was conducted to explain criminal offending and attitudes towards desistance from crime for a sample of 26 women reintegrating back into society after incarceration. Theoretical pathways and desistance theories were used to provide themes for analyzing in depth interviews, journal entries written by the study's participants, and halfway house records. Pathways and desistance perspectives suggest that gendered pathways can explain how women are led into criminal lifestyles, as well as how their criminality may come to an end. Distinct gender-specific policy implications and programs, as well as directions for future research, are also discussed.
本研究采用定性分析的方法，以 26 名刑满释放后重返社会的女性为研究对象，探讨了理论框架，旨在解释她们的犯罪行为和改过自新的态度。本研究采用了理论途径和中止犯罪理论，为深入访谈、研究参与者撰写的日记以及中途之家的记录分析提供了主题。途径和中止犯罪的观点表明，性别途径可以解释女性如何走上犯罪生活方式，以及她们的犯罪行为如何结束。还讨论了具体的性别特定的政策影响和方案，以及未来研究的方向。
