Children of Incarcerated Parents: A Handbook for Researchers and Practitioners
Children of Incarcerated Parents: A Handbook for Researchers and Practitioners,
Published by The Urban Institute
Abstract
More than 1.7 million American children are separated from an imprisoned parent. Millions more have parents in jail. For these children, the risk of behavioral problems, attachment insecurity, poverty, cognitive delays, and other negative outcomes is elevated. But by how much? How many are able to overcome these challenges? And what public policies give them the best chance of persevering? The scholars contributing to Children of Incarcerated Parents: A Handbook for Researchers and Practitioners, published in 2010 by the Urban Institute Press, say it has taken decades to accumulate a body of scientific knowledge about these children, because most practitioners and researchers who gather this information work in isolation.
