Persistence in criminal offending may be observed when subjects are followed for a sufficiently long period and found to have maintained a certain level of offending.

Though this is overstated (see Shover, 1985, for instance), studies of desistance tend to exist in relative isolation from one another and most are not theoretically informed.

Criminal Justice and Behavior, 2014
The law can be a systemically induced decision point for offenders and can act to help or hinder desistance.

The institutional structures of juvenile justice encourage teenagers to frame their incarceration as a positive turning point, but they don ...

Using Pathways to Desistance (PtD) data, a longitudinal study of active youth offenders, the current study tests whether voluntary participation in a variety of programs – job training, mental health, and substance abuse, may be considered as a signal of an individual’s underlying intentions to desist from crime.

Putting Desistance Research to Work: Policy and Desistance Theory
2017It has been said that research should be useful as well as used. Unfortunately, much of the work on desistance remains theoretical and largely separate from the policy world.
