Caregiver Reports on the Needs and Experiences of Children Impacted by Parental Incarceration: Results From an Australian Survey

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children experiencing parental imprisonment are known to be among the most overlooked in our community. They often experience multiple and compounding disadvantages, with long‐term consequences, but receive no specialised assistance. Knowledge about these children and their families is lacking in Australia and is required to inform policy ...
