Around the globe, millions of individuals are entangled in justice
systems daily. For individual offenders, contact often begins with
the police, frequently leading to court involvement, and for
offenders found guilty, to correctional supervision or
incarceration. But how do these encounters affect the family? How
do police and justice entanglements result in tremendous strains
upon families economically and socially? Do they endanger family
relationships? To better comprehend how involvement at any level of
the justice system affects families, this multidisciplinary edited
collection focuses on the justice system and the family. Chapters
include topics such as how court processes impact family members
and their support networks; how prolonged incarceration impacts
children and parenting processes and family coping; how intimate
relationships are impacted during and after incarceration including
marriage, divorce and partner violence; and, whether system
involvement leads to unintended consequences among family members
such as heightened fear of crime and victimizations and fears of
the police. An enlightening insight into the family dynamics
surrounding contact with the justice system, Police, Courts, and
Incarceration is interesting reading for researchers and students
of family, sociology and criminology.
