Based on primary data from a crime prevention initiative in Australia, this article explores how a small group of co-offenders utilized the pro-social aspects of their crime to co-desist from criminal behavior. The study focuses on the dynamic nature of group dynamics and the roles played by policing, innovative casework, and providing a culturally safe environment in facilitating co-desistance scenarios. Contrary to initial concerns, the association of co-offenders in the community proved to be crucial for the success of this approach. Drawing on existing literature on supported desistance, the article positions co-desistance as a distinct concept that deserves further investigation.
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.
