Women’s journey through and out of a criminal lifestyle is often neglected in different research about individuals living a criminal lifestyle and therefore automatically also about why and how they leave said lifestyle (Sarnecki, 2014, s. 228). This has been done not only by analysing past research in the subject but also see what pulls and, especially, pushes the women in question to this kind of lifestyle. This has been done through analysing eight separate interviews of women in different age groups where they are asked about their journey through and out of a criminal lifestyle. The result shows that three factors are crucial to exiting a life of crime, 1) a will to leave, 2) a motivation to leave, and 3) support to leave.
