The ambivalence of desistance: Balancing in the liminal space between deviance and conventionality

European Journal of Criminology Abstract Building and expanding on contemporary research where desistance is increasingly conceived of asa fragile and liminal experience, this paper examines the early dof ambivalence – an undertheorised concept in life course criminology. This paper employs qualitativeinterviews from a total of 10 participants who participated in SIG, a voluntary defector programmein Sweden. Despite having formulated a clear resolve to desist, the participantsnonetheless experienced feelings of ambivalence in relation to the desistance process. In theseinstances, the aspiring desisters were bordering between the prospects of a better, crime-freelife and the pains, losses, struggles and frustrations accompanying the early stages of desistance.It is argued that this liminal position, where the old life is to be discarded and a new, better lifeis yet to be built, may constitute a breeding ground for ambivalence – a state which needs tobe grounded in the precarious social position of marginalised youth which aspiring desisters typicallyoccupy.
