White-Collar Crime
This is a nice ray of hope, and a refreshing close-up of individuals, amidst a literature rife with pessimism and abstractions.
Maruna finds that, surprisingly, the key to quitting a life of crime is a measure of denial. Among ex-offenders who grow weary of criminal activity, those who end up rebuilding their lives aren't those who have the starkest or clearest view of reality. Instead, the ones who succeed are those who muster a positive self-image and a slightly inflated self-confidence. That is: they rewrite their histories in ways that excuse bad behavior (externalizing blame for past events), and they re-script their futures in ways that require discipline and initiative (internalizing responsibility for future progress).
Maruna frames his findings with key concepts from social psychology, sociology, and criminology. He sprinkles interview excerpts generously throughout his analysis, and he ties up each section with reflections about what needs to change in The System and in society.
Overall: readable, informative, and encouraging.
