This book presents multidimensional knowledge on children of
incarcerated parents using Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory as an
organizing framework. It examines the extent to which different
levels of the environment are supportive (i.e., leading to
resilience) and stress-producing (i.e., contributing to risk). The
volume explores four levels of the environment - microsystem,
mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem - with specific theories and
paradigms woven into the inquiry at each. At the level of child and
family, it discusses the factors that influence resilience and risk
in children from gestation through young adulthood; at the
community level, it addresses risk and resilience in the
interactions between children and families and the various systems
with which they interact (e.g., child welfare). Key areas of
coverage include: * A description of the factors that influence the
quality of programming for children and their families. * A
critical analysis of state and national policies that affect which
individuals receive, or fail to receive, specific services. * An
overview and evaluation of the state of knowledge and implications
for research and practice to improve outcomes for children of
incarcerated parents. * An organizing framework to help researchers
identify gaps in the existing knowledge base and distills and
organizes evidence-based information for practitioners. Children of
Incarcerated Parents is an essential resource for researchers,
professors, and graduate students as well as practitioners,
therapists, and other professionals in child and school psychology,
family studies, public health, and all interrelated disciplines,
including developmental psychology, criminal justice, social work,
educational policy and politics.
