Trusting Recovery and Desistance

Trusting Recovery and Desistance synthesises and presents research on the social influences of recovery and desistance.

Lauren Hall is an Assistant Professor in criminology at the University of Nottingham. Her research seeks to better understand recovery from addiction and desistance from crime, with a view to increasing strength-based approaches in practice that are supported by evidence. She has also engaged in broader criminal justice related research, for example exploring experiences of desistance from partner perspectives; gendered social mechanisms of recovery; the health and well-being of prison governors; and the implementation of prison (re)settlement programmes.
