Abstract It is argued that certain constructions of masculinity are considered “criminogenic.” Correctional programming has the potential to facilitate gendered identity shifts, of particular import since inner transformations may be key to desistance from crime. This study examines how identity meanings associated with criminogenic masculinity are changed among men participating in a prison-based animal program (PAP). Through focus groups with participants, this study explores the men’s perceptions of masculinity, negotiations of identity, and the role of the PAP in how they reframe affect and meaning. Ultimately, this study has implications for the potential of the PAP to promote desistance from crime.

性别对狗的影响：基于监狱的动物项目中男性参与者对男性气质和身份的看法发生了变化

摘要有人认为，某些男性气概的构造被认为是“致犯罪的”。纠正性编程有可能促进性别认同的转变，尤其是重要性，因为内部转变可能是制止犯罪的关键。这项研究探讨了参与基于监狱的动物计划（PAP）的男性如何改变与犯罪化男性气质相关的身份含义。通过与参与者的焦点小组讨论，这项研究探索了男性对男性气质的理解，身份认同的谈判以及PAP在他们如何重新构造情感和意义方面的作用。最终，这项研究对PAP促进犯罪活动的潜力具有影响。
