This article examines the eight-stage model of recommunalizing the
homeless in a Single Room Occupancy (SRO) as developed by
Arrigo and its theoretical grounding, based on principles derived
from critical criminology. In particular, by retrospectively identifying
how several key concepts emanating from peacemaking, anarchist
and cultural criminology are illustrated by the SRO’s formation and
operation, the article demonstrates where and how the dynamics of
identity formation, the development of collective residential power
and evolving reforms function throughout the facility. The article
concludes by tentatively exploring the relevance of the proposed
model for the resocialization and community re-entry of other
similarly disenfranchised constituencies.
