When the Innocent are Punished cover

There are millions of children experiencing parental imprisonment all over the world. This book is about their problems, human rights and how they are treated throughout the justice process from the arrest of a parent to imprisonment and release.

“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)
