| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references and index Introduction: a framework for understanding parental incarceration -- Context and processes -- Maternal incarceration -- Paternal incarceration -- The effects on families and children -- Conclusions: practice and policy implications of a family perspective "Over 2% of U.S. children under the age of 18--more than 1,700,000 children--have a parent in prison. These children experience very real disadvantages when compared to their peers: they tend to experience lower levels of educational success, social exclusion, and even a higher likelihood of their own future incarceration. Meanwhile, their new caregivers have to adjust to their new responsibilities as their lives change overnight, and the incarcerated parents are cut off from their children's development. Parental Incarceration brings a family perspective to our understanding of what it means to have so many of our America's parents in prison."-- |
