En översiktsstudie om sociala faktorer och strukturer som främjar vägen ut ur kriminalitet / A Scope Review of Literature Handling Social Factors and Structures that Promote Desistance from Crime

This study is a review of literature on the theme of what factors positive for a person to leave a criminal lifestyle. The purpose of the study is to investigate these factors and try to determine whether there are consistent patterns in the existing literature on the subject in order to answer the study's questions. Questions for the study were (1) What social factors affect a person's motivation to leave a criminal lifestyle and maintain desistance from crime? Also (2) which structures in society have a positive and negative impact in the process of change between crime and a normative lifestyle? The work of collecting literature has  been done through a search and a selection process of peer-reviewed literature. Finally, 13 articles on the subject were included. The results show that the factors that can affect whether a person withdraws from crime are scattered, but the factors that mainly stood out as positive were relationship ties to family and internal motivation.
