Autor: SAUNDERS, VickyCo-autor: McARTHUR, Morag Idioma: Inglês.País: Austrália.Publicação: Canberra : Shine for Kids, 2013Descrição física: 65 p. : il.; 30 cmAssunto: MÃES DETIDAS | RELAÇÕES PAIS-FILHOS | ESTIGMA | INSTABILIDADE CDU: 347.6 Localização e Cota : 347.6SAU Resumo: Until recently, the parenting status of Australian prisoners has been poorly considered. However, Australian and international criminological policy and research is now focusing on the role that families play in the well-being, re-offending and rehabilitation of prisoners. This growing body of research has considered family connectedness from a variety of perspectives and there is emerging evidence of its impact on a range of social, health, mental wellbeing and criminological outcomes for prisoners (Travis, McBride, et al 2003; Stanley, & Byrne, 2000; Robertson, 2007). There is also a growing interest in the reciprocal impacts of imprisonment on families, and particularly on children. This has contributed to the recognition that prisoners need to be seen in the context of their family and parenting identities if a range of preventative, restorative and rehabilitative imperatives are to be fully achieved for them and for their children.
