It's not meant to be a global universal. I've got colleagues who have done a desistance study in Japan, a desistance study in chile and all over the world.
Ever wondered what it takes to truly turn your life around after a brush with the law? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Two Norries', James Leonard and Timmy Long sit down with Professor Shadd Maruna, a leading figure in criminal justice psychology. Maruna shares his wealth of knowledge on desistance, which is the process of going straight after committing crimes.
He dives into the psychological aspects that influence whether someone can break free from a cycle of offending and how hope plays a crucial role in this transformation. The conversation doesn't stop there; Maruna also sheds light on how drug use affects teenage brain development and the reasons why young people might turn to substances in the first place.
This episode is packed with real-life insights and personal stories from both the hosts and their guest, making it not just informative but deeply engaging. If you're curious about what really makes people change and how communities can support these journeys, this episode is a must-listen.
