This thorough book presents the results from four recent large-scale studies undertaken with thousands of children in England, Sweden, the Netherlands and the United States. Drawing from a systematic meta-analysis of 50 studies, the authors provide a detailed picture of the impact of parental incarceration on child development. Areas of study include the effects on children of their parents' arrest, trial, sentence and return home, as well as attachment, reduced quality of child care, social and economic strain resulting from reduced income, changes in discipline, social learning and stigma among peers.
