International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology,(SAGE, 2021) McCartan, Kieran; Kemshall, HazelThis discussion piece argues for a refinement in our understanding of prevention in sexual abuse, suggesting that we include quaternary prevention on the grounds that this concept from medical literature has potential and helpful application to criminal justice and particularly to work with those who cause sexual harm. Located within the paradigm of Epidemiological Criminology (EpiCrim), quaternary prevention extends the prevention spectrum to enable a stronger distinction between tertiary level responses and long term safe, sustainable reintegration into communities, particularly of those who sexually abuse others. The key principles of quaternary prevention are adapted and refined from current medical literature, and the potential usefulness of quaternary prevention to crime and sex abuse prevention is explored.Item Open Access Making Desistance Real: Implementing a Desistance Focused Approach in a Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC)(SAGE Journals, 2021-09-15) Thorogood, Clare; Mayes, Soren; Burroughs, Tammie; Kemshall, HazelDesistance is now a key focus for probation practice in the UK. However, how to implement desistance in the workplace has remained challenging, particularly in the absence of practice guidance. This article presents the experience of ‘making desistance real’ in the context of Community Rehabilitation Companies. ‘Identity shift’ is presented as a core component of the desistance approach adopted, and practice designed to support services users to transition to a pro-social identity and their ‘best life’ is presented. The article examines changes in assessment processes and tools, outlines desistance informed interventions, and the engagement of practitioners in delivering desistance.Item Open Access The potential role of recovery capital in stopping sexual offending: lessons from circles of support and accountability to enrich practice.(Irish Probation Service, 2020-10-01) Kemshall, Hazel; McCartan, Kieran
