Narrative criminology studies the effects of the speech over the criminal behavior. Its origins can be traced back to neutralization theory, which posits that offenders used different narrative strategies -neutralization techniques- to justify or minimize their behaviors. Many studies signal that neutralizations play an important role in the etiology of crime, but its effects over criminal persistence or abandonment of offending -desistance- are unknown. This work analyzes the differences between the narratives of six individuals with a long violent criminal career: Three of them had already ceased crime in the moment they participated in the interview, whereas d the other three continued.

Palavras-chave : neutralization techniques; narrative criminology; violent crime; persistence; desistance.
