AB The vast majority of research dedicated to the topic of desistance from crime has drawn on male samples. While there have been important studies that have investigated the process of desistance from crime in women, there has been limited work comparing and synthesizing this knowledge base across genders. This chapter reviews the body of research on the process of desistance from crime among women, with a particular focus on the impact of social bonds on this process. Research reveals gender differences in a range of social bonds, including employment, marriage, children, and family members. These differences offer insights for social policies and serve as a reminder to address the gendered gaps in employment access and to reinforce social ties with children and family, which are strong sources of support for women involved in the criminal justice system. This chapter also highlights gaps in the literature and offers avenues for future desistance research to examine the intersection of gender, race, and sexuality.
