Klappentext
This book is an ethnographic account of the ways in which formerly gang-affiliated women reconstructed their lives through stewardship and community engagement. It focuses on the women's lives before and after committing to desist from crime, and emphasizes the factors that facilitated their commitment including the mutual support they exchanged in their communities.
