Who Owns Reintegration? Collaboration, Lived Experience and Co-Production of Justice Outcomes (PID401)

9am – 10am GMT, 26 October 2026 ‐ 1 hour

Room: Meeting Room 1A (Level 3)

Plenary Session

The medical model of correctional rehabilitation framed reform as a process done to individuals by the state. The widespread rejection of this model beginning in the late 20th Century led to what is framed as “responsibilisation” whereby individuals are made responsible for their own reform, but not given the resources to succeed. Drawing on 30 years of research and theory around desistance from crime and reintegration, Prof Shadd Maruna will make a case for a third way for reintegration as a co-production, collectively owned by the state, community and the individual.
