Abstract | Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) is an initiative designed to support those previously convicted of sexual offenses as they reintegrate back into society, while still holding them accountable for their thoughts and behavior. The aim of the research was to explore the Core Member and volunteer experience of being involved in a CoSA that transitions from prison to community, with the objective being to focus upon what can be learned from these initial experiences. The study included qualitative interviews with two separate groups of participants: Core Members (n = 7) and volunteers (n = 10) involved in the prison-model CoSA. Interpretative phenomenological analysis of the data was undertaken to consider the individual’s subjective experience of being involved in this initiative. |
