The second edition of this handbook examines family life, health,
and educational issues that often arise for the millions of
children in the United States whose parents are in prison or jail.
It details how these youth are more likely to exhibit behavior
problems such as aggression, substance abuse, learning
difficulties, mental health concerns, and physical health issues.
It also examines resilience and how children and families thrive
even in the face of multiple challenges related to parental
incarceration. Chapters integrate diverse; interdisciplinary; and
rapidly expanding literature and synthesizes rigorous scholarship
to address the needs of children from multiple perspectives,
including child welfare; education; health care; mental health; law
enforcement; corrections; and law. The handbook concludes with a
chapter that explores new directions in research, policy, and
practice to improve the life chances of children with incarcerated
parents. Topics featured in this handbook include: Findings from
the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study. How parental
incarceration contributes to racial and ethnic disparities and
inequality. Parent-child visits when parents are incarcerated in
prison or jail. Approaches to empowering incarcerated parents of
color and their families. International advances for incarcerated
parents and their children. The second edition of the Handbook on
Children with Incarcerated Parents is an essential reference for
researchers, professors, clinicians/practitioners, and graduate
students across developmental psychology, criminology, sociology,
law, psychiatry, social work, public health, human development, and
family studies. "This important new volume provides a cutting-edge
update of research on the impact of incarceration on family life.
The book will be an essential reference for researchers and
practitioners working at the intersections of criminal justice,
poverty, and child development." Bruce Western, Ph.D., Columbia
University "The comprehensive, interdisciplinary focus of this
handbook brilliantly showcases the latest research, interventions,
programs, and policies relevant to the well-being of children with
incarcerated parents. This edition is a 'must-read' for students,
researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers alike who are
dedicated to promoting the health and resilience of children
affected by parental incarceration." Leslie Leve, Ph.D., University
of Oregon
