ABSTRACT
This chapter commences with a brief collective biographical overview and then it explores the recurrent elements across individuals' narratives of change elaborated under the superordinate themes 'Roles, religiosity, reflexivity, relationality and desistance' and 'The meanings and outcomes of work' through the lens of the conceptual framework. The chapter reveals that desistance is variously enabled or constrained by the interaction of the social relations of friendship, intimate relations, families of formation and employment as mediated through the lens of an individual's personal priorities, values, aspirations and relational concerns. The fragmentation of the Del and its consequences influenced the dynamics of each person's offending behaviour and their relational networks. Seth, Jed and Jay relocated to London, and, alongside others who comprised one side of the warring Del, formed a 'revised group'. Of these three, only Seth relocated with the intention of desisting.
