Research into how and why people stop offending is beginning to shed light on the process of desistance from crime, particularly the role of supervision in facilitating this process.

Between 1997 and 2013, Stephen Farrall undertook a study of the desistance or persistence of almost 200 men and women on probation in England. In this video, he explains his findings and argues that probation needs to become ‘desistance focused’ by asking ‘what will help this person stop offending?’.
