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
This book highlights the myriad factors that can impact the
children of incarcerated parents. It is no secret that the United
States continues to be the leading nation for the incarceration of
men and women, and this this large prison population includes
approximately 120,000 incarcerated mothers and 1.1 million
incarcerated fathers. Incarceration of a parent is recognized as an
'adverse childhood experience', an acute or chronic situation that
for most people is stressful and potentially traumatic. Children of
incarcerated parents may experience other adverse childhood
experiences such as poverty, homelessness, parental substance abuse
and other mental health problems, and family violence. The chapters
in this book document some of the challenges as well as some
promising ways that can help parents and families begin to meet
these challenges. It is our hope that the compendium of chapters
presented in this book will be a resource for practitioners, policy
makers, educators, researchers, and advocates in their work to
ensure that the children of incarcerated parents, their caregivers,
and their mothers and fathers, are provided the support they need
to address the challenges they face during and after parental
incarceration. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Smith College Studies in Social Work.
