This booklet is a simplified quick reference guide to positive reform for 16-25-year-olds with a history of delinquency or criminal offending. The steps provided were collected from decades of studies of ex-offenders who managed to transform their lives for good. The author is an ex-juvenile offender who processed through her own positive reform and went onto achieve her doctorate in forensic psychology. She combines first-hand experience with in-depth research to reach back and coach young people who may doubt their potential for prosocial success. The guide is split into three parts. The reader will find a brief introduction to desistance research in Part I, a summary of the research-based desistance process in Part II, and research-based reflection questions to support young people as they begin to think through and prepare for positive reform in Part III.
