Abstract
There is no universal definition of desistance from crime. However, it is generally accepted that it is an ongoing, subjective journey towards an offence-free life, complete with relapses and recoveries, rather than just abstinence from offending (Willis et al., 2010). ‘Protective factors’ are social, environmental, or psychological features that help with desistance, such as prosocial relationships and employment. Helping individuals by promoting and supporting these protective factors in their lives gives us the opportunity to boost their chances of desisting from crime. This report focuses on three key areas relating to desistance and explores what the evidence base tells us about how these protective factors can be applied in people’s lives.
