EP 224: A Desistance Christmas Carol: Lessons in Change and Belonging!


Listen Later

In this very special episode of The Criminologist Podcast, we bring you a transformative tale inspired by Charles Dickens' timeless classic, A Christmas Carol. Through the story of Ebenezer Rouge, a man entrenched in harm and isolation, we explore the powerful journey of desistance from crime-revealing how change is not only possible...but essential.

Guided by the Ghost of Desistance Past, Present, and Yet to Come, Ebenezer confronts the ripple effects of his actions, the potential for identity transformation, and the importance of belonging and generativity in building new a life.  Along the way, we will uncover the deeper truths behind desistance theory and the practical application of the TIDES Supervision Model-a trauma informed framework designed to support real and lasting change. 

What You'll Discover in this Episode:

  • The three stages of desistance-behavioral change, identity transformation, and belonging...and how they intersect with Ebenezer's journey.  
  • How the principles of TIDES (Trauma-Informed Desistance) can empower probation officers and practitioners to facilitate meaningful client transformation. 
  • Practical insights into fostering hope, resilience, and accountability in the criminal justice system.
