Description
Résumé:A large body of research examines the effects of religion and spirituality on criminality and recidivism in the United States. The goal of much of this work has been to determine the effectiveness of various rehabilitation models with a majority of studies focusing on male offenders’ experiences. There is a dearth of research exploring women and crime and even less examining the life experiences of women serving lengthy sentences. In this paper, we address this gap in the literature by exploring what is known about religion and spirituality among women serving lengthy sentences for violent offending.
