The second edition of this handbook examines family life, health, and educational issues that often arise for the millions of children in the United States whose parents are in prison or jail. It details how these youth are more likely to exhibit behavior problems such as aggression, substance abuse, learning difficulties, mental health concerns, and physical health issues. It also examines resilience and how children and families thrive even in the face of multiple challenges related to parental incarceration. Chapters integrate diverse; interdisciplinary; and rapidly expanding literature and synthesizes rigorous scholarship to address the needs of children from multiple perspectives, including child welfare; education; health care; mental health; law enforcement; corrections; and law. The handbook concludes with a chapter that explores new directions in research, policy, and practice to improve the life chances of children with incarcerated parents. Topics featured in this handbook include: Findings from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study. How parental incarceration contributes to racial and ethnic disparities and inequality. Parent-child visits when parents are incarcerated in prison or jail. Approaches to empowering incarcerated parents of color and their families. International advances for incarcerated parents and their children. The second edition of the Handbook on Children with Incarcerated Parents is an essential reference for researchers, professors, clinicians/practitioners, and graduate students across developmental psychology, criminology, sociology, law, psychiatry, social work, public health, human development, and family studies. This important new volume provides a cutting-edge update of research on the impact of incarceration on family life. The book will be an essential reference for researchers and practitioners working at the intersections of criminal justice, poverty, and child development. Bruce Western, Ph.D., Columbia University The comprehensive, interdisciplinary focus of this handbook brilliantly showcases the latest research, interventions, programs, and policies relevant to the well-being of children with incarcerated parents. This edition is a must-read for students, researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers alike who are dedicated to promoting the health and resilience of children affected by parental incarceration.

Foreword

I am honored to pen the foreword to the second edition of Handbook on Children with Incarcerated Parents: Research, Policy, and Practice. As a researcher who investigates family stabilization/destabilization as mothers reenter from prison and who writes about children with parents in the criminal justice system, as a professor who teaches a course on children with parents in the criminal justice system, and as a practitioner who works with a local reentry coalition, If find the material covered in this second edition to be tremendously valuable. It is certainly timely given the current political climate and the increase in the number of children with parents involved with the criminal justice system in the USA.

A distinctive aspect of this handbook is that the editors have assembled an interdisciplinary corpus of scholarship from authors who conduct research, design intervention programs, and contribute to social policy initiatives on children with parents in the criminal justice system. Each author does a notable job of addressing the critical clinical and developmental issues that children face when their parents are arrested, convicted, sentenced, incarcerated, and return home; each does an impressive job in identifying gaps in the research, offering suggestions on areas ripe for subsequent research, and pointing us to new directions for research and social policy initiatives. Furthermore, the authors situate their research, their interventions, and their social policy initiative suggestions in a contextualenvironmentalecological theoretical framework that considers the profound influence of sociopolitical history, socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity, age, and gender on childrens outcomes when parents are incarcerated. The authors challenge those of us in the field to move beyond utilizing a unidimensional approach to measuring and interpreting the effects of parental incarceration on childrens outcomes and well-being to embracing a multilayered, dynamic, and changing-systems approach.

As a field, we are encouraged by Sykes and Pettit (Chap. ), to consider children who enter the foster care system as a result of parental incarceration, as they represent a hidden and growing subpopulation of children with parents in the criminal justice system.

In conclusion, as I read the chapters in this handbook in preparation for writing this foreword, I was reminded of two contemporary issues that have intersected with my life this past summer. One, while home in Alabama this summer, I had the opportunity to visit the Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama, and two, I have watched as the recent crisis of unaccompanied immigrant minors and the imprisonment of their parents and the zero tolerance policy of this current administration has unfolded, as discussed by Poehlmann-Tynan, Sugrue, Duron, Ciro, and Messex (Chap. ) articulate so well. Children of color and their families experience the spillover effects of the incarceration of their loved ones. Unfortunately, for some children of color, parental incarceration becomes a normative developmental experience rather than a non-normative developmental experience.

I am encouraged by the solutions that the intervention research chapters (Chaps. ) offer to move us forward as researchers, as practitioners, and as advocates. Collectively, we must take a systems approach to mass incarceration and the resulting inequalities. There are practical and doable solutions that range from focusing on the building of human capital to increasing employment opportunities for those returning home, while simultaneously providing supports for children and families of the incarcerated. I applaud the editors, J. Mark Eddy and Julie Poehlmann-Tynan, for their continued persistence in raising the issues and plight of children with parents in the criminal justice system, both of which are especially well illuminated in this second edition of Handbook on Children with Incarcerated Parents: Research, Policy, and Practice.

It has been over a decade since we worked together on the first edition of this volume. Returning to work on a new draft has provided us the opportunity not only to see how much the field has changed, but also to reflect on how our lives have changed, particularly in terms of our children and our stance toward activism.

Our children who were young the first time around are now either adults or are moving into adulthood. There are new children in both of our lives, including grandchildren for one of us and stepchildren for the other. Our experiences with our own children and families have taken place with each of us having the privilege to be free, where we could see our children each day (when they were young), walk with them to school, play together and watch them play with family and friends, eat dinner together, and read with and tuck them into bed at night. We are deeply appreciative for each of these moments. They have changed our lives for the better.

As these changes in our own families were occurring, each of us continued to work with incarcerated parents and their families in our respective communities. Those experiences strengthened our commitments toward using findings from our research and intervention efforts to promote social justice. As a result, our research has become more policy-relevant and our dissemination efforts have been increasingly focused on attempting to make positive change, not just for individual children and families affected by incarceration, but also for communities and society at large. Mass incarceration is a significant contributor to inequality and instability in the USA and in other countries as well, and there is much work to do to raise awareness about this and to change it. We see the tragic effects on a daily basis, and we hope to inspire others to work toward change, too.
