Episode 3: Desistance and Recidivism, part 1 (Dr. Bret Bucklen)
Manage episode 426573715 series 2531735
In this episode we discuss the concept of “desistance,” an idea which has been around for a while in academic criminology but is only now beginning to catch on among corrections practitioners and policy-makers. Dr. Bucklen describes what desistance is, discusses how to define and measure it, and explains its practical use as a complimentary measure to recidivism by correctional agencies.
