Summary
Why are the children of imprisoned parents often penalised the most? The abuse, stigma and neglect experienced by many of these children raise serious questions about the nature of criminal justice. First published in 1992, this title provides an in-depth look at these hidden victims of crime and examines ways in which harm can be reduced.
