On March 24, Professor and Director of the Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice, School of at Queen’s Law University Belfast, Shadd Maruna gave a talk called “Creating a Rehabilitation Culture”. He cites User Voice as an illustration of his desistance theory in action.
In this talk, Shadd Maruna argues that desistance from crime necessitates the creation of a culture of rehabilitation. Successful rehabilitation must engage persons, families, communities and the state. He cites User Voice as an illustration of ex-offender led organisation building a culture of rehabilitation by its simple existence. Indeed, Maruna sees ex-offender led organisations like User Voice as living and breathing example of change.
