- Double-weighted statement
- It is requested that Desisting Sisters is double weighted for REF purposes as the 245 page monograph was the subject of the author's PhD work. The author gathered material - including literature searches, long periods of observation and 23 in-depth semi-structured interviews, analysed this material, and composed the book over a period of 6 years, from 2013 until 2019. The unique argument presented has enabled a critique of the largely male-focussed desistance literature, and is one of a small number of emerging intersectional feminist approaches to desistance theory, producing a new, critical insight into the process of desistance from crime.
