The Criminal Spin theory focuses on a process, through which an individual experiences decreased feelings of self-control and empathy, along with increased criminal activity and self-centeredness. The different types of criminal spins (acute, chronic) and their levels (individual, group) are discussed in a familial context. This article focuses on the chronic group spin and its conceptual contribution to understanding the experiences of prisoners’ family members. A study of 27 members of prisoners’ nuclear families in Israel (i.e., parents and siblings) revealed that the imprisonment of a son or brother generates unique experiences that are similar to a group spin. An innovative angle to the theory referred to as the “familial spin” and its potential theoretical, social, and practical ramifications are discussed. Finally, positive criminology is suggested as a balanced approach that allows social acceptance and assists in preventing spin escalations and maintaining family members’ engagement with society and its values.
