We focus our attention on understanding the biographical meaning which they attribute to that learning in the process of social reinsertion. In general terms, we developed an analytical reflection on the multifaceted character of the prison, and in particular on that which refers to that set of aspects which contribute to triggering off this learning in its social dimensions (which take place in formal, non-formal and informal processes of learning) and individual dimensions (which aggregate the subjective dimension). We start from the hypothesis that although the spaces of privation of liberty possess an anti-educational peculiarity, given their internal problematic structure (with marks of authoritarianism, rigid routine, overcrowding, etc.), they also constitute a locus of multiple learning – whether that be extracted from the field of their previous life (family, work, leisure, etc.) which in spite of being recreated in the prison, does not annul nor substitute it. Moreover, it remains as a reference for the interns and is produced in that context as an alternative for dealing with experiences of privation characteristic of imprisonment and as a strategy for shortening the sentence. The starting point for this approach were the results of the investigation developed during the master’s degree course, which, on the one side, revealed the strong relationship between women’s biographical learning and the motives which lead them to imprisonment and, on the other, showed the diverse possibilities of learning (not only those linked to crime) extant in the prison, although little perceived and considered in the educational processes there present. These results raised the key question of this thesis which is: if the learning acquired throughout life - by means of experience of socialization, was responsible for these women entering prison, what can we say when we add to this baggage of experience and learning (marked by the negation of basic human rights), a new repertoire of learning linked to the experience of domination and subjugation characteristic of the prison context, and at the same time to the ontological desire for liberty? Our interest in comprehending how a group of female ex-prisoners and recidivists redirected their lives after living the experience of prison led us to adopt the theoretical-methodological perspective of biographicity (ALHEIT e DAUSIEN, 1996, 2000, 2007). On the basis of this theoretical-methodological focus, we analysed the meaning attributed by these women to the learning produced and/or re-elaborated in prison, during the process of social reinsertion. From our analyses of their narratives, we understand that the learning which is prevalent in the construction of their biographies, while they are in prison, is that which is necessary for their survival inside. In all the cases narrated, learning to live together reveals itself to be an indispensable condition. In addition, it became clear that when the experiences and learning brought from other fields of life before the period of imprisonment (in the family, school, work, amorous relations, religion, etc. spheres) are added to these prison sociabilities they can both result in continuities and in ruptures and discontinuities on the post-prison biographical plan. But that also depended on the subjective meaning attributed to the learning in this context. Thus the conjunction of these sociabilities with the subjectivities helped these women to construct old and new postures in society, signalling the framing of the prison biographies and biographicities. In turn, we argue that to enlarge the chances of these women (with prison experience) of framing their biographies in the spirit of social reintegration, divested of the prison biographies (linked to recidivism), besides being necessary for enlarging the possibilities of learning in prison (by means of formal and non-formal effective educational actions), it is also necessary to give value to the informal experiences and learning (learning from living together) in the formative processes extant in that context. We conclude finally that the social reintegration of the imprisoned female population, translated in the framing of biographicities, depends as much on the articulation between the different ways of learning acquisition to which the prison gives rise as on educating society in order to achieve the goal of accepting these women back after the completion of their sentences. / Esse estudo se propôs a refletir as experiências e aprendizagens (re)construídas no cárcere por egressas e reincidentes do sistema prisional da Paraíba. Focalizamos nosso interesse na compreensão dos sentidos biográficos que elas atribuem a essas aprendizagens no processo de reinserção social. Grosso modo, realizamos uma reflexão analítica sobre o caráter multifacetado da prisão, particularmente, no que se refere ao conjunto de aspectos que contribuem para o desencadeamento de aprendizagens, em suas dimensões sociais (que ocorrem nos processos formais, não formais e informais de aprendizagem) e individuais (que agregam a dimensão subjetiva). Partimos do pressuposto de que os espaços de privação de liberdade embora possuam uma peculiaridade antieducativa, dada à estrutura interna problemática que apresenta (com marcas de autoritarismo, rígida rotina, superlotação, etc.), se constituem em lócus de múltiplas aprendizagens - sejam as extraídas dos campos da vida anterior (família, trabalho, lazer, etc.), que apesar de serem recriados na prisão, não as anulam nem as substituem, permanecem como referentes para os reclusos e são produzidas nesse contexto como alternativa para lidar com as experiências de privação, próprias do encarceramento, e como estratégia para abreviar a pena. O ponto de partida para essa abordagem foram os resultados da investigação desenvolvida no mestrado, que, de um lado, constatou a forte relação entre as aprendizagens biográficas de mulheres e os motivos que as conduziram ao encarceramento e de outro, revelou as diversas possibilidades de aprendizagens (não apenas aquelas ligadas ao crime) existentes na prisão, embora pouco percebidas e consideradas nos processos educativos ali presentes. Estes resultados suscitaram o questionamento chave desta tese, qual seja: se as aprendizagens adquiridas ao longo da vida - por intermédio das experiências de socialização, foram propiciadoras da entrada dessas mulheres na prisão, o que dizer delas quando somam a essa bagagem de experiências e aprendizagens (marcadas pela negação de direitos humanos básicos) um novo repertório de aprendizagens ligado às experiências de dominação e subjugação próprias do contexto prisional, e ao mesmo tempo ao desejo ontológico de liberdade? O interesse por compreender como um grupo de mulheres egressas e reincidentes reconduzem suas vidas após vivenciarem a experiência da prisão nos aproximou da perspectiva teórica-metodológica da biograficidad (ALHEIT e DAUSIEN, 1996, 2000, 2007). Com base neste enfoque teórico-metodológico foi que analisamos os sentidos atribuídos por essas mulheres, às aprendizagens produzidas e/ou reelaboradas na prisão, no processo de reinserção na sociedade. Das análises de suas narrativas, depreendemos que as aprendizagens que prevalecem na construção de suas biografias, enquanto estão na prisão, são aquelas que urgem como necessárias para a sobrevivência dentro dela. Em todos os casos narrados o aprender a conviver se colocou como uma condição indispensável nesse contexto. Além disso, ficou claro que as experiências e aprendizagens trazidas de outros campos da vida anteriores a prisão (na esfera da família, da escola, do trabalho, das relações amorosas, da religião, etc.) ao serem adicionadas a estas sociabilidades carcerárias podem resultar tanto em continuidades como em rupturas e descontinuidades no plano biográfico pós-prisional. Mas isso também dependeu dos sentidos subjetivos atribuídos às aprendizagens desse contexto. Portanto, a reunião destas sociabilidades com as subjetividades ajudaram essas mulheres à construção de velhas ou de novas posturas na sociedade, sinalizando a emolduração de biografias prisioneiras e de biograficidades. Por sua vez, defendemos que para ampliar as chances dessas mulheres (com experiência prisional) de emoldurarem suas biografias em direção à reintegração social, desvinculadas das biografias prisioneiras (ligadas à reincidência), além de ser necessário ampliar as possibilidades de aprendizagens no cárcere (por meio de ações educativas formais e não formais efetivas), também se faz necessária a valorização das experiências e aprendizagens informais (aprendizagem da convivência) nos processos formativos existentes nesse contexto. Conclui-se, por fim, que a reintegração social da população feminina encarcerada, traduzida na emolduração de biograficidades, depende tanto da articulação entre as diferentes formas de aquisição de aprendizagens (formais, não formais e informais) provenientes da prisão; como da educação da sociedade para o alcance deste propósito ao aceitá-las de volta.

The proposed theme encompassed discussions and constructions in different areas, as socially, encompasses the interdisciplinary science, enabling clippings of violence coming from sociology, criminology, education and human rights. The study addresses the historical concepts wrapped in structuring the prison as a total institution (Goffman, 2001). Understanding the historical aspects of the formation of prison as an institution reinforces the ineffectiveness of Brazilian prisons, which operate based on authoritarian mentality still present since its founding. Reflects on the effects of imprisonment, stigma and discrimination, suggesting continuity in the analysis of criminal sanction even at the end of the sentence, the figure of the citizen-former prisoners For the preparation of this dissertation was decided to split into two studies. The purpose of Study 1 was to describe, from secondary data INFOPEN, aspects of the prison structure in Goiás in the years 2010, 2011 and 2012, and the strategies of social reintegration in intramural period. Study 2 aimed to investigate the actions of the Foundation of the State of Goiás in supporting the Social Reintegration of Ex- Offenders (extramural period). For the processing of the results, we chose to categorize the data, responding to criteria based on the tripod of the concept of reintegration (work, health and education). In study 1, the data from the information system of prisons, it appears that the prison structure in Goiás is characterized by having a deficit of jobs and consequent overcrowding. In 2010 the capacity was 62% higher than allowed, and with increased vacancies in 2012, the surplus still reached values almost 50% higher than allowed. Composed of men and women with low education (in the three years analyzed, nearly 60% just literate and / or with incomplete primary education), with almost 60% composed of young people 18-29 years. The results of the study reflect the 2 shy scope of actions of social reintegration of graduates, with values less than 25% in the three aspects of reintegration. Although constructed with regard to the penitentiary system discourse demands the presence of educational and work activities in favor of the idea of reintegration, it was observed that the actions of social reintegration, in the analyzed period, do not represent a significant rate the severity of the problems facing addressed. / Levando-se em consideração os problemas de segurança que o Brasil tem enfrentado, com especulações acerca do índice de reincidência criminal por falta de dados empíricos, compreender as formas que o Estado tem utilizado para construir estratégias de reintegração social dos indivíduos que vivenciam a situação de cárcere faz-se necessário. O tema proposto englobou debates e construções em diferentes áreas, já que, socialmente, abarca a ciência interdisciplinar, possibilitando recortes oriundos da sociologia da violência, da criminologia, da educação e dos direitos humanos. O estudo aborda as concepções históricas envoltas na estruturação da prisão como Instituição Total (GOFFMAN, 2001). A compreensão dos aspectos históricos da formação da Prisão enquanto instituição reforça a inoperância das prisões brasileiras, que ainda funcionam baseadas na mentalidade autoritária presente desde a sua fundação. Faz uma reflexão sobre os efeitos do aprisionamento, estigma e discriminação, propondo, na análise, a continuidade da sanção penal mesmo ao término do cumprimento da pena, na figura dos cidadãosegressos do sistema penitenciário. Para a elaboração desta dissertação optou-se pela divisão em dois estudos, cujos objetivos eram: a) estudo 1: descrever, a partir dos dados secundários do INFOPEN, os aspectos da estrutura prisional em Goiás nos anos de 2010, 2011 e 2012, e as estratégias de reintegração social no período intramuros; b) estudo 2: pesquisar as ações do Patronato do Estado de Goiás no apoio à Reintegração Social dos Egressos (período extramuros). Para a elaboração dos resultados, optou-se por categorizar os dados, respondendo a critérios baseados no tripé do conceito de reintegração (trabalho, saúde e educação). No estudo 1, a partir dos dados do sistema de informações penitenciárias, constata-se que a estrutura carcerária em Goiás se caracteriza por apresentar um déficit de vagas e consequente superlotação. Em 2010, a lotação estava 62% acima do permitido, e, com o aumento de vagas em 2012, o excesso ainda atingia valores quase 50% acima do permitido. Composto por homens e mulheres com baixa escolaridade (nos três anos analisados, quase 60% eram apenas alfabetizados e/ou com ensino fundamental incompleto), com quase 60% composto por jovens de 18 a 29 anos. Os resultados do estudo 2 refletem o tímido alcance das ações de reintegração social aos egressos, com valores menores que 25% nos três aspectos da reintegração. Embora o discurso construído com relação ao sistema penitenciário reivindique a presença de atividades educacionais e laborativas, em prol da ideia de reintegração, observou-se que as ações de reintegração social, no período analisado, não correspondem a um índice expressivo frente à gravidade da problemática abordada.

In addition, it brings to the attention an overview of the history of prisons from birth to the present day. The methodology of this research consists of a case study in the Industrial Penitentiary of Cascavel (IPC), demonstrating that, despite the contradictions and their biases regarding school education in prisons, there is no doubt that education is an important contributory factor for the social rehabilitation of the imprisoned man. Therefore, we believe that education in prisons is a fundamental factor of social reintegration and fostering the reduction of criminal recidivism, then, it is an act of indispensable contribution in the policy of public security, reduction of crime and increase of social security. We also present the school situation of the prisoners that served and serve their sentence at the Industrial Penitentiary of Cascavel (IPC), in the period from 2012 to 2015, in order to demonstrate the educational level of the prisoners when they arrived at the Prison Unit until the compliance of the sentence. We intend, with this study, to point to future researches that can better evaluate the level of recidivism of those who could study and be professionally prepared for a return to society. It will be a study that will demand a longer and more thorough investigation in search of those who, when leaving the Prison Unit, return to social life a little more educated and professionalized, thus having better conditions to live a life that meets the standards of harmonious coexistence with society and with their own families. We believe that if we return the offending citizens to society, a little more humanized, educated and professionalized, their chances of returning to crime may be lower. This research dialogued with the following theorists Altusser (1998), Baratta (2001), Beccaria (2001), Bitencourt (2011), Foucault (2012), Melossi e Pavarini (2010), Onofre (2007, 2011), Rousseau (2000), Rusche e Kirchheimer (2004) and Goffman (2013). / A presente pesquisa tem como tema a Educação no Sistema Prisional como fator de Reabilitação Social do Aprisionado. Ademais, traz à atenção um panorama da história das prisões desde seu nascimento até os dias de hoje. A metodologia da pesquisa constitui-se em um estudo de caso na Penitenciária Industrial de Cascavel (PIC), apontando que, apesar das contradições e seus vieses quanto à educação escolar nas prisões, não restam dúvidas de que a educação constitui-se num importante fator contributivo para a reabilitação social do homem aprisionado, portanto, acreditamos que a educação nas prisões seja um fundamental fator de reintegração social e fomento à diminuição da reincidência criminal, logo, é um ato de imprescindível contribuição na política de segurança pública, de redução da criminalidade e aumento da segurança social. Apresentamos, ainda, a situação escolar dos aprisionados que cumpriram e cumprem pena na Penitenciária Industrial de Cascavel (PIC), no período compreendido entre o 2012 a 2015, com vistas a demonstrar o nível educativo dos apenados ao chegarem na Unidade Prisional até atingirem o cumprimento da pena. Pretendemos com este estudo apontar para futuras pesquisas que possam melhor avaliar o nível de reincidência dos apenados que puderam estudar e ser preparados profissionalmente para um retorno à sociedade. Será um estudo que demandará uma investigação mais demorada e minuciosa em busca dos que, ao deixarem a Unidade Prisional, retornam para o convívio social um pouco mais instruídos e profissionalizados, tendo, assim, melhores condições de levar uma vida que atenda aos padrões de uma convivência harmônica com a sociedade e com suas próprias famílias. Acreditamos que se devolvermos o cidadão infrator à sociedade, um pouco mais humanizado, instruído e profissionalizado, suas chances de tornar ao crime podem ser menores.

PhDr. Marek Jakoubek, Ph.D., Degree of Qualification: Master. Prague: FFUK, 2017. ?? p. The diploma thesis deals with the socio-spatial aspects of the social service of the day center and the dormitory designed for people without a roof. It presents its current state of affairs with regard to the clientele, the function of the shelter, the principles of affiliation in it, but also the reflection of the homeless people and the employees on the necessity of change. The aim of the thesis is to visualize the living space, opinions and values of the clients of the shelter and their relation to the place, mediated by their statements and everyday practices. The thesis is divided into eight chapters. Thematically they describe previous investigation of issue, theoretical basis, methodics of research, goals, etics and auto- ethnographic experience. They describes also clients of the shelter, its purpose and values, rules, habits that are in the shelter, and last but not least its possible reconceptualization. The conclusion of the thesis summarizes the findings of research and their possible usage in future research. Diploma thesis is elaborated on...

First, we analyze the relationship between human rights and criminal policy, by breaking through the crisis of the Criminal Law, to highlight contemporary models of criminal justice, among which we highlight the Restorative Justice, Justice Instant and Therapeutic Justice. In a second step, from this last model to combat drug addiction, the study intends to demonstrate its legitimacy in order of country, even without legislative forecast, based on existing criminal laws (in particular the law n.º 11.343/2006 and law n.º 9.099/95), and the current Provision of the National Council of Justice (n.º 04/2010). The aim is, to the study, to reconcile the Criminal Policy and Human Rights with the Therapeutic Justice, whose focus is to treat the addiction of the individual program participant in order to reduce the social harm. This is a treatment program for judicial involvement, linking operators of the judiciary and health care, so multidisciplinary, aimed at social rehabilitation, aimed at those who practice criminal offenses of lower offensive potential while users are, abusers or addicts of licit or illicit drugs. The institute, consistent with the criminal law into force, designed to be an alternative to custodial sentences, which currently does not fulfill its original function properly, that is, re-socialize and re-educate the public offender, especially when it comes to offenses under the influences of chemical dependency, taken this as a chronic, progressive and degenerative therefore needs appropriate treatment. To this end, we intend to check the program as a viable instrument Therapeutic Justice Criminal Policy in line with contemporary human rights in the face of drug legislation in force, especially when treatment is so compelling, as well as analyze the viability of model as a tool for social reintegration. As a means of research will be used to review the literature, based on national and foreign doctrines, papers, documents and electronic Brazilian Courts and jurisprudence of these Courts / O presente estudo pretende demonstrar a urgência por novos modelos de Políticas Criminais, como mecanismo de defesa e tutela da cidadania, em especial no tocante à problemática das drogas e infrações decorrentes em face do seu uso. Primeiramente, serão analisadas as relações entre Direitos Humanos e Política criminal, partindo-se, através da crise do Direito Penal, para realçar os modelos contemporâneos de justiça criminal, dentre os quais destacamos a Justiça Restaurativa, a Justiça Instantânea e a Justiça Terapêutica. Em um segundo momento, a partir deste último modelo de combate à drogadição, o estudo pretende demonstrar sua legitimidade no ordenamento pátrio, mesmo sem previsão legislativa, com base nas leis penais já existentes (em especial a lei n.º11.343/2006 e a lei n.º 9.099/95), e no atual Provimento do Conselho Nacional de Justiça (n.º04/2010). Busca-se, com o estudo, compatibilizar a Política Criminal e os Direitos Humanos com a Justiça Terapêutica, cujo enfoque é tratar a dependência química do indivíduo participante do programa, visando à redução do dano social. Trata-se de um programa de tratamento com intervenção judiciária, vinculando operadores do judiciário e da área de saúde, portanto de natureza multidisciplinar, que visa à readaptação social, voltado para aqueles que praticam delitos de menor potencial ofensivo e ao mesmo tempo são usuários, abusadores ou dependentes de drogas lícitas ou ilícitas. O instituto, coerente com o penalístico em vigor, foi desenvolvido para ser uma alternativa à pena privativa de liberdade que, atualmente, não cumpre adequadamente sua função original, qual seja, reeducar e ressocializar o cidadão infrator, principalmente quando se trata de delitos sob as influências de dependência química, tida esta como uma doença crônica, progressiva e degenerativa, e por isso, necessita de tratamento adequado. Para tanto, pretende-se verificar o programa de Justiça Terapêutica como instrumento viável de Política Criminal contemporânea em consonância com os Direitos Humanos, em face da legislação de drogas em vigor, especialmente quando o tratamento ocorre de modo compulsório, além de analisar a viabilidade do modelo como instrumento de reinserção social. Como meio de investigação será utilizado a revisão da literatura, com base em doutrinas nacionais e estrangeiras, artigos científicos, e documentos eletrônicos de Tribunais Brasileiros, bem como jurisprudências desses Tribunais

Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur före detta intagna upplever möjlighet till arbete efter frigivning samt ta reda på hur de blir bemötta av arbetsgivare. Tidigare forskning visar att det finns svårigheter för tidigare dömda att återintegreras på arbetsmarknaden samt att arbetsmöjligheterna skiljer sig kraftigt mellan personer som inte är dömda och de som är tidigare dömda. Detta eftersom arbetsgivare vill skydda organisationen från brottslighet. Teorierna om stigmatisering och stämpling utgör stora delar av arbetet och analyseras tillsammans med informanternas uttalanden i analysdelen. Studien består av en kvalitativ metod med en fenomenologisk ansats med fokus på sex kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer. I resultat och analysdelen har jag lyft fram fyra teman som är: självstigmatisering, det dolda stigmat, självuppfyllande profetia och arbetsgivarens respekt för stigmatisering. Slutligen visar huvud resultatet att informanterna i undersökningen befinner sig i en avvikande grupp som har svårt för att återanpassa sig på arbetsmarknaden. Flera av faktorerna till detta är att de fortsätter stigmatiseras och stämplas i anställningsprocesser utifrån tidigare brott, något som därmed begränsar arbetsmöjligheterna ytterligare. Resultatet visar dessutom på att ingen av informanterna erfarit att de blivit bemötta på ett annorlunda sätt, något som kan bero på att man vanligtvis brukar respektera en annan persons stigma i sociala grupper. / The purpose of the study was to investigate how former inmates experience the opportunity to work after served prison sentence and find out how they are treated by employers. Previous research shows that there are difficulties for previously convicted people to be reintegrated into the labour market and that job opportunities differ greatly between people who are not convicted and those who are previously convicted. This is because employers want to protect the organization from crime.   The theories of stigmatization and stamping make up much of the work and are analyzed together with the informants' statements in the analysis part. The study consists of a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach focusing on six qualitative semi-structured interviews. In the results and the analysis section I have highlighted four themes that are: self-stigmatization, the hidden stigmatization, self-fulfilling prophecy and the employer's respect for stigmatization. Finally, the main result shows that the informants in the survey are in a deviant group who have difficulty in reintegrating into the labour market. Several of the factors for this are that they continue to be stigmatized and stamped in employment processes based on previous crimes, which further limits the job opportunities. The result also shows that none of the informants have experienced that they have been treated in a different way, which may be because one usually respect another person's stigma in social groups.

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att undersöka hur avhopparverksamheter arbetar med avhoppare med fokus på behandlingsarbete samt återintegrering. Vidare ville vi även undersöka vilka faktorer som ansågs vara väsentliga i beslutet att vilja lämna gängkriminalitet. Studiens teoretiska referensram baserades på tre huvudteorier: Exitprocessen, teorin om differentiella associationer samt stämplingsteorin. Studiens empiri är framtagen genom fyra separata intervjuer med socialarbetare där samtliga är verksamma inom avhopparverksamheter. Studiens resultat indikerar på att familjebildande, traumatiska händelser eller utmattning av livsstilen är betydande faktorer i beslutet att lämna gängkriminalitet. Vidare framkom det att behandlingsarbetet inte skiljer sig markant mellan de olika avhopparverksamheterna då majoriteten av behandlingen syftar till att skapa en beteendeförändring hos individerna i fråga. Detta innebär att förändra tidigare destruktiva beteenden som etablerats hos individen som en konsekvens av kriminalitet. Respondenterna anser enat att det finns stora svårigheter med återintegreringsarbetet gällande avhoppare. Svårigheterna visade sig grundas i att hitta sysselsättning, bostad och andra vägar in i samhället. / Criminal groupings are a diverse social problem that affects the society both economically and on an individual level. The aim of this qualitative study was to examine how defector support programmes work with defectors, especially focused on treatment work and reintegration. Furthermore, the aim was to explore which factors were considered significant in the decision to leave a criminal group. The study's theoretical frame was based on three main theories: exit-process, the theory of differential associations and the labeling theory. The empirical study was produced through four separate interviews with social workers, all of whom are professionals active in defector supporting programmes. The results of the study indicate that starting a family, traumatic events or exhaustion as a consequence of the lifestyle are significant factors in the decision to leave criminal groups. In addition, it emerged that the treatment work does not differ significantly between the various defector supporting programmes as the majority of the treatment aims to create a behavioral change. The respondents unanimously believe that there are major difficulties with the reintegration work regarding defectors. Difficulties were found in getting an employment, finding residence and other ways to reintegrate.

Angola is a country that faced 27 years of conflict, from 2002 facing its peaceful moments. The situation with former girls soldiers during this process is not appropriately addressed, and this brings reflection on both human rights and development structure. The unknown social reintegrations done by Christian Child Fund Angola was responsible for solving those problems. Those pioneer solutions resolved the issue during and after the conflicts. Former girls soldiers need to be recognised in the current Law of Former and Disable Combatants. A vector of rights for the public health framework looks at the holistic structure of former girls soldiers and the needs that should follow to reintegrate this group since they are marginalised. The study is based on qualitative research and an abductive approach. Therefore, a vector of rights approach for public health framework was used focusing on the social reintegration programs done by CCF Angola together with other actors. This will reflect on the law of former combatants, which is a direct result of the formal DDR Program. The results show that there are still women, former girls soldiers that were not reintegrated yet and still marginalized in the current social context. The State needs to revise the Law 13/02 favouring former girl ex-combatants since the reintegration process done by CCF/Angola matches the UN International Human Rights Standards for Law Enforcement.

This research investigates the use of an artistic methodology to explore embodied experiences related to reintegration of returning Foreign Terrorist Fighters (FTFs). The methodology combines bodily, sensory and cognitive aspects of individual and intersubjective processes – dimensions which have long been neglected in research on reintegration. The research seeks to examine how the artistic body mapping methodology can be used in exploratory and participatory research aiming to promote the reintegration of returning FTFs. The intersubjective body mapping methodology, developed as part of the research, is used and assessed in order to explore its utility for advancing dialogue in addressing challenges related to the reintegration process, including understanding and trust, as experienced by returning FTFs, community members and security personnel in Mombasa, Kenya. The research confirms that the use of intersubjective body mapping is a powerful tool in the context of reintegration, as it serves to enhance understanding for the self and others, which correlates with trust, while allowing for communicating empirical knowledge beyond conventional means.

Studiens syfte är att undersöka vad som driver individer till att begå brott, vilka bidragande faktorer som avgjort att de ex-kriminella valt att lämna sin kriminella karriär, och hur socialtjänsten och arbetsförmedlingen hjälpt de ex-kriminella under vägen ut ur det kriminella livet. Studien belyser även vilken specifik händelse som varit vändpunkten för ex-kriminella och deras beslut att bli avhoppare. Hur ex-kriminellas återintegrering in i samhället sett ut samt hur samhället, myndigheter samt deras omgivning bemött dem under utträdesprocessen.Det empiriska underlaget består av kvalitativa intervjuer med fem personer som tidigare varit kriminella. Med stöd av teorier och tidigare forskningen har en analys gjorts av intervjusvaren. Faktorer såsom familjeförhållanden, ogynnsam skolgång, brottsbelastad kamratkrets samt rastlöshet, spänningssökande och bristande ekonomiska tillgångar har varit orsaker till att individer tenderar att utveckla ett kriminellt beteende. Resultatet visar även att samtliga intervjupersoner hade en utmärkande händelse som orsakade vändpunkten i deras liv. Fyra av de fem deltagarna som medverkade beslutade även att flytta till ett annat land/stad för att påbörja ett nytt liv med nya möjligheter samt reducera chanserna till att bli stämplad eller dömd på grund av sitt förflutna. Samtliga deltagare hade dåliga erfarenheter av hjälp från myndigheter då de upplevde att de inte fick bra stöd. / The purpose of the study is to investigate what motivates individuals to commit crimes, what contributing factors that have determined that ex-criminals have chosen to leave their criminal careers, and how social services and the employment service helped the ex-criminals on their way out of the criminal life.The study also sheds lights on what specific events that have been the turning point for ex-criminals and their final decision to leave the criminal lifestyle, and how ex-criminals' reintegration into society looked like and how society, authorities and their surroundings treated them during the withdrawal process. The empirical data has been collected in the form of a qualitative interview study with five ex-criminals. With the help of the selected theories and previous research, an analysis has been made of the interviews. Factors such as family relationships, unfavorable schooling, criminal friends, sensation seeking, and lack of financial assets have been reasons to why individuals tend to develop criminal behavior. The results showed that all interviewees experienced one or more specific events that caused the turning point in their lives. Majority of the participants decided to move to reduce the risk of them being judged because of their past. All participants had a bad opinion about receiving help from the authorities as they experienced that they were both badly treated and didn’t receive correct help.
