本章回顾了停顿过程中认知转换的研究现状。它考虑了认知内容的转变：改变亲犯罪的态度，改变犯罪行为的含义和情绪，以及动机和希望的重要性。这一章还考虑了认知技能的转变，使试图停止行动的人能够根据他们形成的意图采取行动。它认为，一个完整的停滞过程理论必须包括对所有这些认知转换的理解。在发展这一论点时，本章狭隘地挑战了心理学-犯罪学理论-尤其是它们最近在罪犯治疗中的应用。最后，我们建议，对一系列生活事件和认知变化的时间顺序进行更深入和更有力的实证探索，将对发展我们对犯罪中止的理解至关重要。
This chapter reviews the state of current knowledge on cognitive transformations in the desistance process. It considers transformations in the content of cognitions: changing pro-criminal attitudes, changing meanings of and emotions surrounding criminal behavior, and the importance of motivation and hope. The chapter also considers transformations in cognitive skills that enable the person trying to desist to act upon the intentions they have formed. It argues that an integrated theory of the desistance process must include an understanding of all these cognitive transformations. In developing this argument, this chapter challenges narrowly psychological-criminological theories—more particularly their recent applications in offender treatment. Finally, we suggest that further and more methodologically robust empirical exploration of the chronological sequencing of a range of life events and cognitive changes will be critical to developing our understanding of desistance from crime.
