Monographic Part: Turning Points in the Criminal Career. A Chance for Rehabilitation / Revitalization of Juvenile Offenders

Summary/Abstract: The text consists of two parts. In the first part of the article, the authors discuss the theory of desistance, that is, a trend in Anglo-Saxon criminology dealing with the explanation of the process of withdrawal (desistance) from criminal activity. To the so-called “turnings points,” i.e. life events which bring about the abandonment of further breaching of rules of law are, inter alia, entering into marriage, getting a job and adequate remuneration, the birth of a child, joining the army, starting education, or religious conversion. In the second part of the article, the authors present researches which illustrate the most important family and peer predictors of becoming involved in criminal activity.
