Drawing on primary data from a unique crime prevention initiative in Australia, this article examines how a small group of co-offenders harnessed the pro-social dimensions of their offending to co-desist from crime. We focus particularly on the evolving nature of group dynamics and the roles played by policing (including non-policing), innovative ‘24/7’ casework, and the provision of a culturally safe divergent setting in the emergence of co-desistance scenarios. We show how initial apprehensions around co-offenders associating in the community were unfounded and in fact proved key to the success of such an approach. Building on the supported desistance literature, the article positions co-desistance as a related but distinct concept worthy of further study in its own right.

共同阻止犯罪：参与共同犯罪的亲社会维度

本文利用澳大利亚一项独特的犯罪预防计划的主要数据，研究了一小群共犯如何利用其犯罪的亲社会层面共同制止犯罪。我们特别关注群体动态的演变性质和警务（包括非警务）所扮演的角色、创新的“24/7”案例工作，以及在共同停止情景出现时提供文化安全的不同环境。我们展示了最初对社区中的共犯者的担忧是如何毫无根据的，并且实际上证明了这种方法成功的关键。在支持的停止文献的基础上，本文将共同停止定位为一个相关但独特的概念，其本身值得进一步研究。
