For this discussion, please address the following:
- How do redemption scripts, as conceptualized in desistance theory, shape an individual’s narrative of personal transformation and influence the likelihood of successful reintegration into society?
- What role do these scripts play in fostering a sense of agency and empowerment for those seeking to distance themselves from a criminal past, and how might external factors, such as societal attitudes and support networks, interact with or reinforce these redemption narratives?
