O enders who desist experience a fundamental qualitative cognitive transformation which sustains them in face of dire circumstances (maruna"s redemption scripts) This focus on variability and on the impact of adult social bonds also adds to the broader intellectual tradition that emphasizes the ways in which socialization and development continue across the full range of the individual life course. Did not like the term turning points, and wanted something more speci c. There are certain opportunities which just be taken advantage of to change ones life course. The four types are the shift in the o enders openness to change. The second, involves the o enders exposure to a particular hook for change. the third occurs when the o ender sees a replacement self or the chance for change. The last is when the person nally transforms - they can look back and say they have a new sense of self.
