This book brings together internationally renowned academics and
professionals from a variety of disciplines who, in a variety of
ways, seek to understand the legal, conceptual and practical
consequences of parental imprisonment through a children's rights
lens. Children whose parents have been incarcerated are often
referred to as "invisible victims of crime and the penal system."
It is well accepted that the imprisonment of a parent, even for a
short period of time, not only negatively affects the lives of
children but it can also result in a gross violation of their
fundamental human rights, such as the right of access to their
parent and the right to have an input into decision-making
processes affecting them, the outcomes of which will without doubt
affect the life of the child concerned. This collection foregrounds
the voice of these children as it explores transdisciplinary
boundaries and examines the practice and development of the rights
of both children and their families within the wider dynamic of
criminal justice and penology practice. The text is divided into
three parts which are dedicated to 1) hearing the voices of
children with parents in prison, 2) understanding to what extent
children's rights informs prison policy, and 3) demonstrating how
law in the form of children's rights can help frame both court
sentencing and prison practice in a way that minimises the harm
that contact with the prison system can cause. The research drawn
upon in this book has been conducted in a number of European
countries and demonstrates both good and bad practice as far as the
implementation of children's rights is concerned in the context of
parental incarceration. An accessible and compelling read, this
book will appeal to students and scholars of law, children's
rights, criminology, sociology, social work, psychology, penology
and all those interested in, and working towards, protecting the
rights of children who have a parent in prison.
