Writing in the mid-2000s and following from emerging evidence from desistance studies, McNeill (2006: 39) proposed that research on desistance offered a new ‘paradigm for offender management’. Insights from desistance research, he argued, not only provided emergent evidence about the ways in which people cease offending and how they might be supported to do so, but also a solid normative basis for probation practice. For many research on desistance, and its translation into practice offered an antidote to the overarching emphasis on ‘What Works’, public protection, and risk that permeated probation practice, particularly in England and Wales, at the time. This was a period that had seen the reformulation of probation from an ‘alternative to custody’ to ‘punishment in the community’ and where the public were cast as the beneficiaries of probation supervision, and the ‘offender’ the person from whom the public were to be afforded protected from (Burke and Collett, 2015; Worrall and Hoy, 2005).

对抵抗的批判性观点

McNeill (2006: 39) 于 2000 年代中期写作，根据来自抵制研究的新证据，提出对抵制的研究提供了一个新的“罪犯管理范式”。他认为，来自停止研究的见解不仅提供了关于人们停止犯罪的方式以及如何支持他们这样做的紧急证据，而且还为缓刑实践提供了坚实的规范基础。对于许多关于终止的研究，并将其转化为实践，为解决当时渗透到缓刑实践中的对“什么有效”、公共保护和风险的总体强调提供了一种解毒剂，特别是在英格兰和威尔士。
