For nearly two decades there has been concerted interest in desistance from crime (Maruna 2001; Giordano et al 2002; Maruna & Immarigeon 2004; Laub & Sampson 2006; McNeill 2006; King 2013a) with the conditions that spark and sustain it the subject of ongoing debate (e.g. Bushway et al 2003; Burnett & McNeill 2005; Barry 2013). Evidence suggests that even for those who have ‘made it’, re-building one’s life after being convicted of a criminal offence frequently involves minor and more serious setbacks (Bottoms & Shapland, 2011; Farrall 2002a; Bereswill 2010; Halsey & Deegan 2015; Wright 2015). In this article, we demonstrate that giving up crime is indeed a fragile project (Halsey 2007) but that the implications of fragility in the desistance process are rarely integrated into preand post-release planning and support strategies. In more specific terms, we argue that fragility – the omni-present threat of the derailment of desistance – is especially pronounced for people evincing serious and lengthy custodial and release histories (see our respective datasets, below). Unlike, say, the airline pilot whose capacity to cope with major turbulence typically increases with each flying hour, the ‘battle-hardened’ would-be desister often becomes overwhelmed by circumstances in spite of having ‘been there’ many times before. Rather than viewing such relapses as entirely the result of individual shortcomings, we show this unraveling to be linked to bureaucratic (in)action over the legitimate fears and concerns of those struggling to desist. Our contention, therefore, is that the phenomenological foreground (Katz 1988) of relapse and reoffending has been under-examined in desistance research (but see Gadd & Farrall 2004; Agnew & Messner, 2015), and that such knowledge is central for breaking the cycle of crime and reincarceration.

“去他妈的！”：马扎和抵抗过程中的宿命论情绪

近二十年来，人们一直对打击犯罪（Maruna 2001; Giordano et al 2002; Maruna & Immarigeon 2004; Laub & Sampson 2006; McNeill 2006; King 2013a）的兴趣一致辩论（例如 Bushway 等人 2003；Burnett & McNeill 2005；Barry 2013）。有证据表明，即使对于那些“成功”的人来说，在被定罪后重建生活也经常会遇到轻微和更严重的挫折（Bottoms & Shapland, 2011; Farrall 2002a; Bereswill 2010; Halsey & Deegan 2015;赖特 2015）。在本文中，我们证明了放弃犯罪确实是一个脆弱的项目（Halsey 2007），但在停止过程中脆弱性的影响很少被整合到发布前和发布后的计划和支持策略中。更具体地讲，我们认为脆弱性——抵抗脱轨的无处不在的威胁——对于那些表现出严重而漫长的羁押和释放历史的人来说尤其明显（见下面我们各自的数据集）。与航空公司飞行员应对大湍流的能力通常随着飞行小时数的增加而增加不同，尽管以前“去过那里”很多次，但“久经沙场”的潜在目标往往会被情况所淹没。我们没有将这种复发完全视为个人缺陷的结果，而是将这种瓦解与官僚主义（不）采取行动联系起来，以消除那些努力停止的人的合理恐惧和担忧。因此，我们的论点，
