This book brings to life the experiences of children affected by
maternal imprisonment, and provides unique, in-depth analysis of
judicial thinking on this issue. It explores the experiences of
children whose mothers are sentenced to imprisonment in England and
Wales and contrasts their state-sanctioned separation from their
mothers in the criminal courts (where the court may not even be
aware of the existence of a child) to the state-sanctioned
separation of children from their parents in the family courts,
where the child has legal representation and their best interests
are the court's paramount consideration. Drawing on detailed
empirical research with children, caregivers, and Crown Court
judiciary, Maternal Sentencing and the Rights of the Child brings
together relevant literature on law, criminology, and human rights
to provide insight into the reasons for the differentiated
treatment and its implications for children, their caregivers, and
wider society.
