'Children of the Prison Boom' describes the devastating effects of America's experiment in mass incarceration for a generation of vulnerable children. Wakefield and Wildeman find that parental imprisonment leads to increased mental health and behavioural problems, infant mortality, and child homelessness which translate into large-scale increases in racial inequality.

Over 2% of U.S.children under the age of 18—more than 1,700,000 children—have a parent in prison. These children experience very real disadvantages when compared to their peers: they tend to experience lower levels of educational success, social exclusion, and even a higher likelihood of their own future incarceration. Meanwhile, their new caregivers have to adjust to their new responsibilities as their lives change overnight, and the incarcerated parents are cut off from their children’s development.Parental Incarceration and the Family brings a family perspective to our understanding of what it means to have so many of our nation’s parents in prison. Drawing from the field’s most recent research and the author’s own fieldwork, Joyce Arditti offers an in-depth look at how incarceration affects entire families: offender parents, children, and care-givers. Through the use of exemplars, anecdotes, and reflections, Joyce Arditti puts a human face on the mass of humanity behind bars, as well as those family members who are affected by a parent’s imprisonment. In focusing on offenders as parents, a radically different social policy agenda emerges—one that calls for real reform and that responds to the collective vulnerabilities of the incarcerated and their kin.

Et si la liberté n'était qu'une illusion ? Ou comment le vécu extrême des anciens - organisé par la violence de l'Histoire - détermine le devenir des générations suivantes. A travers l'expérience de la Résistance et de la déportation lors de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, ce livre a pour objectif de montrer les effets de la transmission du traumatisme et de sa représentation sur les descendants. Les enfants des Résistants déportés ont subi une double influence, marquée par le sentiment de fragilité et de souffrance parentale, associé à celui de force, de courage et d'engagement (paradoxe : héros/victime). Leur parcours de vie est imprégné par cette mémoire et la volonté testimoniale de leur parent. Après une description des séquelles traumatiques des ascendants et la présentation des concepts sur la transmission transgénérationnelle, l'auteur laisse une large place à l'expression des descendants. Psychologue clinicienne et elle-même fille et petite-fille de résistantes déportées, elle a souhaité partager son vécu et son analyse avec d'autres témoins de sa génération.
