Rezensionen

"This book is a compelling account of the processes through which parental imprisonment is consequential for children and makes three broad contributions to the literature. ... This book contributes to the growing literature on the consequences of parental imprisonment for children. The focus on children's human rights, as well as the careful attention to the various stages of the imprisonment process, distinguishes this book from others on the topic." (Kristin Turney, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books, May, 2015)
