Children of Prisoners will focus on a much-overlooked criminological issue: children whose parents are incarcerated. The papers are drawn from a range of disciplines and comprise a combination of research findings and practice reflections, addressing complementary areas and topics including: care planning for children whose primary carers are incarcerated; research ethics around this invisible and vulnerable group; the role of schools in supporting children and families of prisoners; sentencing and human rights in Australia and the UK; Indigenous issues and responses; and children of imprisoned parents in Scandinavia, which provides a contrasting and informative perspective. Authors are drawn from Australia, New Zealand, England, Scotland and Denmark. This special issue will meet the needs of a wide readership, from academics and research students, to criminal justice practitioners and policy-makers, both within the Australian and the international market.

Anna Eriksson is a criminologist and penologist at Monash University and her research is focused on comparative criminal justice. Dr. Eriksson is particularly focused on imprisonment and other responses to crime and its intended and unintended consequences, ranging from prisoners and their children, restorative justice, community-based approaches to conflict resolution, transitional justice including former paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland, as well as post-release measures and desistance. Catherine Flynn, at Monash University, focuses her research on prisoners and their children. Dr. Flynn is the lead investigator on the Australian Research Council grant that provided the foundation for this Special Issue of Law in Context. Her core work lies in the intersection of social work and criminal justice.
