累犯给社会、社区、家庭和个人带来损失。体育被誉为一种吸引和激励被定罪的人改变生活方式的便捷方式。旨在降低再犯罪率的一项备受瞩目的干预措施是“结对项目”,该项目邀请正在服刑和社区服刑的人参加一项以足球为基础的计划,以获得当地主要足球俱乐部的认可资格。我们的主要目标是调查足球运动如何帮助弥合社区与抵制途径之间的差距。足球运动使用了英国一些最大的品牌和地区忠诚度。我们采用现实主义的方法,提供了来自社区服刑人员以及英国两大足球俱乐部干预计划的教练和缓刑官员的访谈数据。具体来说,我们对英国一座大城市的社区服刑人员和服务使用者进行了采访。基于社会排斥/包容的社会认同视角,我们进行了主题分析,重点关注社会支持、社会联系和由此产生的未来导向。专题分析揭示了四个主题:(a) 社会支持方面的差距; (b) 教练作为榜样; (c) 加强未来导向; (d) 新的前进方向。这些主题证明了人们在进入司法系统之前经常面临的斗争,以及围绕有意义的共享社会身份进行高层指导的能力,以减少这些障碍的显着性并引发对未来的乐观感。请参阅补充材料部分以查找本文的社区和社会影响声明。
Recidivism costs society, communities, families and individuals. Sport is heralded as an accessible way to engage and incentivise people convicted of crime to change their lifestyles. One high‐profile intervention designed to reduce reoffending rates is the Twinning Project, which invites people serving custodial and community sentences to participate in a football‐based programme to gain accredited qualifications with a major football club in their local region. Our primary objective was to investigate how football, which uses some of the biggest brands and regional allegiances in the United Kingdom, might help to bridge the gap between community and paths to desistance. Using a realist approach, we present interview data from people serving sentences in the community and the coaches and probation officers facilitating intervention programmes at two major British football clubs. Specifically, we conducted interviews with staff and service users serving community sentences in a large British city. Based on social identity perspectives on social exclusion/inclusion, we carried out thematic analysis with the focus on social support, social bonding and resulting future orientation. Thematic analysis revealed four themes: (a) gaps in social support; (b) coach as a role model; (c) increased future orientation; and (d) new ways forward. These themes evidenced the struggles people often face before entering the justice system as well as the capacity of high‐level coaching around a meaningful shared social identity to reduce the salience of these hurdles and elicit a sense of optimism towards the future.
