What is it that drives a person with criminal behavior to change their
lifestyle? What are the obstacles to a lifestyle change? These issues have been
guiding us during this study. In the introduction, we describe the previous
research that has been done among crime in men. The themes that will follow us
through the course of the study are as follows; cause of crime, Self-efficacy,
social network and lifestyle change. The aim of the study was to investigate
the factors that a former prison convicted individual believes has been
significant, as they break their criminal behavior associated with a lifestyle
change. The study is based on a qualitative approach, where in-depth interview
was done so participants had the opportunity to talk about their lifestyle
changes. The results demonstrated that in order to make a lifestyle change and
be able to break a delinquent behavior, it is of great importance when in
social work dealing with people, build trust and build a relationship. The
result also shows that the participants feel disappointed about how they have
been treated and treated by the authorities. In the discussion presented it in
running text with headings for each theme, where we discuss what that was like
and unlike with the results and previous research. A great similarity that we
discuss and that we found is that previous research and the participants
mentions trust and building relationships is important. It also discusses the
shortcomings, so participants do not feel they have earned the confidence of
the authorities. We will also discuss about future research in which we suggest
further research in what their needs are former criminals need to implement a
lifestyle change.
