Conclusion

Abstract

In concluding this study, it is germane to commence with some understanding of what happened to each respondent after their sentence ended. This culminates the life course approach employed in this book, by providing a final insight into the lives of the men who participated in this research. Follow-up data about respondents were provided by Probation Trusts five years after the end of the fieldwork period. Searches were also conducted via the internet, to see if additional information could be gleaned in relation to their post-interview trajectories.
