The question of what contributes to desistance from delinquency is one important topic of criminological sociology. While the impact of marriage has received much attention in recent years, the meaning of girlfriends in young adulthood has been largely neglected. This paper addresses changes in the perception and treatment of girlfriends in this period of transition, as well as their own contributions to the desister’s development. The role of agency is examined, as is the interplay of certain micro- and macro-level aspects. Nineteen qualitative, retrospective interviews with young adults and twenty-seven with field experts were analysed, as outtakes from a larger German study. The data illustrates different patterns of desisting from delinquency that are supported by and related to girlfriends in different ways. The findings appear to add to the current state of the art in desistance research.
