Abstract
This article reviews key issues in desistance research, especially those arising from developmental and life-course theories and the criminal career paradigm. It discusses policy issues and the measurement of desistance. It outlines key questions that need to be addressed in future research on desistance and sets out a 10-year longitudinal research agenda. This includes (a) multiple cohorts, (b) community and offender samples, (c) self-report and official measures, (d) repeated measures of offending, and (e) measures of risk factors, life events, situational factors, and cognitive processes. Within-individual analyses are recommended.
