A Self-Determination Theory Perspective on Human Agency, Desistance from Crime, and Correctional Rehabilitation

Despite the attention paid to the role of human agency in the desistance process, there is a lack of consensus on how agency should be defined, what motivates or thwarts its exercise, and how it can be applied meaningfully in criminological research.

520 |a Despite the attention paid to the role of human agency in the desistance process, there is a lack of consensus on how agency should be defined, what motivates or thwarts its exercise, and how it can be applied meaningfully in criminological research. The goal of the current article is to highlight how self-determination theory (SDT) can be used to those ends., Qualitative interviews were conducted with a sample of former offenders to assess how they conceptualized their own processes of desistance and the factors that helped and hindered those processes. Data were analyzed using an inductive framework., Participants’ initial moves away from crime resulted from the realization of psychological need frustration. Subsequent efforts made to help in the desistance process reflected either volitional behavior or the acceptance of assistance from others that would fulfill those needs. Participants also recounted their experiences with correctional rehabilitation as being need thwarting., SDT’s conceptualization of agentic behavior and the factors that motivate/thwart its exercise can be used to integrate existing findings on desistance from crime. Moreover, measures used in prior SDT-based psychological research have implications for the quantitative measurement of agency in our own field. Implications for correctional theory and policy are also discussed.
