Abstract

In this series of papers we consider the ways that parental incarceration shapes the developmental and life course outcomes of incarcerated parents, their children and caregivers. We examine both the immediate and short-term consequences of parental incarceration, as well as the pathways of incarcerated parents and families across the life course. Specifically, these four papers focus on the social support systems and networks of caregivers and children during parental incarceration and post-release, how motherhood intersects with offending and incarceration to introduce protective factors or create risks at different periods during the life course, and how parental incarceration affects the life course outcomes of offspring.
