这项探索性研究旨在了解犯罪行为对罪犯母亲的影响。半结构化的深入访谈，收集数据，从27位母亲。受访者报告说，他们的子女犯罪导致母亲生活中的一系列并发症和压力，包括身体、心理、关系、社会和经济影响。母亲们还报告了罪犯与父亲的关系以及犯罪的耻辱。儿童犯罪的破坏性影响以及对罪犯家庭，特别是其母亲的支持的必要性是显而易见的。建议将同伴支持、社会服务网络和改进刑事司法对策作为协助母亲的手段。
This exploratory study sought to understand the effects of criminality on mothers of offenders. Semistructured in-depth interviews were used to gather data from 27 mothers. Respondents reported that their children’s criminality leads to a series of complications and stressors in mothers’ lives, including physical, psychological, relational, social, and economic effects. Mothers also reported on offenders’ relationships with their fathers and the stigma of criminality. The destructive impact of a child’s criminality, and the need for support for offenders’ families, particularly their mothers, is evident. Peer support, social service networking, and improved criminal justice response are suggested as means to assist mothers.
