Understanding Desistance from Crime: Emerging Theoretical Directions in Resettlement and Rehabilitation

In the previous discussion of this project (Farrall, 2002), only some cases were given names. The remainder were referred to by their case numbers. For this book, with far fewer cases (51 instead of 199), we have been able to provide each case with a first name, and it is by these names that we distinguish between cases. So that readers can trace the development of cases between this and the previous publications that draw from this data set, we list here case numbers and names. In some instances we use data from earlier interviews with cases who, in the previous publications, were not given names and who were not reinterviewed for this book. For these cases we simply list their case numbers. All cases were given names that reflected their gender and ethnicity.
