- W2743960140 abstract "This chapter presents the argument that structural factors influence agency in a more fundamental way than through merely providing opportunities or creating pathways for change. It is argued that self-control is an important component of agency and that it can help us understand how situational challenges influence a person’s decisions in the process of desistance. Traditionally, self-control has not received much attention in the field of desistance research. The General Theory of Crime (Gottfredson & Hirschi, 1990) maintains that self-control is a stable trait, unaffected by experiences in adulthood. Consequently, it is unsuitable for explaining discontinuity in criminal behaviour, or desistance. However, there is convincing evidence that self-control varies over time and is a situational construct, as opposed to a stable trait. As such, it is much more compatible with theories of desistance, including life-course and agency perspectives. The chapter discusses relevant recent developments in the fields of psychology and behavioural economics and presents a new theoretical view on the relationship between agency, self-control, crime, and desistance. This situational conceptualisation of agency and self-control incorporates the possibility that exposure to criminogenic settings can constrain agency. The implications of a new understanding of agency for empirical studies and theories of desistance are discussed." @default.
