Description
What happens to criminals when they get old? While the career criminal has been studied, little attention has been paid to those who 'went straight' after a youth of crime. Shover's fascinating study serves to fill this gap. Through a series of intensive interviews and life studies, he identifies the elements which redirect criminals to a more conventional lifestyle.
