"This book gives voice to justice-involved Canadian youth and young adults by sharing their views on their journey toward desistance from crime and social and community (re)integration. Building in interviews with 140 justice-involved youth and young adults (aged 16 to 35), the book explores the challenges they faced while they were under the control of the justice system, the ways in which they navigated the obstacles they came up against, and the support they needed to overcome them. What and who they consider to be facilitators in their journeys are presented. The book also examines experiences of assisted desistance in different settings, such as incarceration, addiction services and community supervision. What distinguishes this book is its focus onhow justice-involved youth and young adults perceive their own experiences of desistance from crime and social and community (re)integration. An accessible and compelling read, Understanding Desistance From Crime and Social and Community (Re)Integration will be of interest to those engaged with desistance studies, rehabilitation, re-entry, juvenile and adult justice, and recovery from addiction"--
