520 |a This chapter reviews the existing qualitative research on desistance from crime, with a particular focus on how gender shapes the new selves that would-be desisters strive toward and the barriers they encounter in doing so. The first section explores the concept of narrative identity. These stories that people live by provide them with a sense of coherence and purpose but also the ability to account for deviations from the expected. They are also heavily influenced by the broader societal culture, including gendered role norms and expectations for the life-course. The second section uses the lens of narratives as cultural, gendered texts to examine the major themes that emerge from qualitative investigations of desistance. Although broad categories of thematic content are similar across gender, there are qualitative differences in how men and women narrate their experiences with regard to issues such as romantic relationships, employment, parenthood, and social stigma. The chapter concludes by discussing avenues for future research on the links between gender, desistance, and human agency.
