Current Research
- Analyses of data
from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-being, a longitudinal
study of a representative sample of children who were subjects of reports
of maltreatment. These analyses examine factors affecting the safety, permanency,
and well-being of children whose parents are or have been incarcerated,
on probation, or received other criminal sanctions (e.g., fines, etc).
- Analyses of
data from the 1997 Survey of Inmates examining the hypothesis that children
are not only affected by parental incarceration, but also by the number
of different members of their families who have been to prison.
- The unmet
need for mental health services among children whose parents are court mandated
to receive services from Treatment Alternatives for Safer Communities.
