Despite significant research interest in Norwegian penality, there remains much to be learned about how people in Norway experience life during and after punishment. This article is one of the first to explore the lived experience of desistance as narrated by Norwegian desisters. We analyse ‘small stories’ that either opened up or frustrated the co-creation of change, showing how desistance develops (or is stymied) at a micro level. Our analytical framework helped us understand our informants as active subjects navigating a complex terrain of psychological, relational and systemic processes. Informants described a long-term, unfinalized desistance process, leading in some cases to an extended experience of liminality and welfare supplication.

说得好：分析挪威停止的叙述

尽管对挪威刑罚有着重要的研究兴趣，但关于挪威人在刑罚期间和之后如何体验生活还有很多需要了解的地方。这篇文章是最早探索挪威desisters所讲述的desistance生活经验的文章之一。我们分析了开启或挫败共同创造变革的“小故事”，展示了在微观层面上如何发展（或受到阻碍）。我们的分析框架帮助我们将线人理解为在心理、关系和系统过程的复杂领域中导航的活跃主体。线人描述了一个长期的、未完成的停止过程，在某些情况下导致了限制性和福利请求的扩展体验。
