Description
Summary:This chapter draws the book to a close with insights on what remains to be done in public/prison policy and research domains. Policy should increase the availability of generative opportunities, such as in the form of programming. Analysts should also study programme impacts. Life course criminology might continue to explore generativity, a main task of later life stages, as promoting prosocial behaviour. The latter should not be understood as merely a negation of crime or a means to recidivism reduction. More generally, the generative actions and plans of people in prison strike against the harmfulness of the carceral regime.
