Those who are formally designated as \"high-risk\" by the Canadian criminal justice system often have a record of violent or sexual crimes. As a result, they are usually subject to additional monitoring in the community after completing a prison sentence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003ePathways to Ruin? \u003c\/i\u003edisentangles the numerous elements and pathways that lead to high rates of reoffending by focusing on developmental periods of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. The book uses a case-study approach to consider individuals' entire crime pathway by examining the circumstances and factors that contribute to assumptions or official designations of \"high-risk\" behaviour. Erin Gibbs Van Brunschot and Tamara Humphrey overhaul society's popular crime narratives and instead draw on sociological and criminological perspectives to identify historical, social, and personal contexts that appear to increase the likelihood of reoffending. They also consider how negative life experiences may be addressed to circumvent trajectories of serious offending. Reducing the social distance that the \"law-abiding\" public may feel towards marginalized groups, \u003ci\u003ePathways to Ruin? \u003c\/i\u003edetails how legal systems could better serve these individuals, and acknowledges the many missed opportunities for compassion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eErin Gibbs Van Brunschot\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of Sociology and the director of Centre for Military, Security, and Strategic Studies at the University of Calgary.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTamara Humphrey\u003c\/b\u003e is an assistant professor of Sociology at the University of Victoria. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 8.98 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42098246549639,"sku":"9781487527129","price":51.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/63ef8119a0143302d78b63de6577da8a.webp?v=1732360918","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/pathways-to-ruin-high-risk-offending-over-the-life-course-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
