Abstract: "Parental Incarceration and Intergenerational Social Exclusion" (Hagan & Foster)The Problem: What difference does it make to have a parent in prison? American incarceration is four times larger than in the 1970s, six to ten times greater than in European and Scandinavian countries, and the majority of Americans who are imprisoned are parents. The sample of young Americans in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health [Add Health] includes 2086 sons and daughters of fathers who have spent time in jail or prison during the peak growth years of incarceration in this country. This proposal involves collaboration in the collection of new data that will reveal the timing and frequency of the imprisonment of Add Health parents, so that we can trace the impact of this parental imprisonment on their sons and daughters from mid-adolescence to early adulthood. The risks of "social exclusion" these youth confront as a result of parental incarceration may take multiple forms: legal (criminal justice contacts); socio-economic (homelessness); political (electoral disenfranchisement); health (uninsuredness); cultural (electronic disconnection), social (isolation); and religious (spiritual removal). The challenge is to deepen and broaden our understanding of the cross generational consequences of incarcerating parents.Broader Impact: How expansive and far ranging are the exclusionary consequences of parental imprisonment for their children? Less educated, African- and Hispanic-American parents are more at risk of imprisonment than white American parents. The collection of data on the timing and frequency of parental imprisonment will create an unparalleled opportunity to examine the effects of parental imprisonment in a nationally representative sample during a unique period of elevated incarceration in the United States. The Add Health sample will allow analysis across racial/ethnic groups, including attention to Hispanic families who are seldom considered in crime research. The research will consider mothers and daughters as well as fathers and sons, and it will also include step-parents. The wide array of exclusionary outcomes included in the Add Health survey will allow a comprehensive assessment of the impact across generations of parental incarceration. It is noteworthy that each of the exclusionary domains measured involves some element of legal control or certification, indicating that findings from this research will have implications for legal regulation and reform. By adding parental incarceration histories to the nationally representative and historically unique Add Health data, this research will markedly expand opportunities to understand wide ranging risks of social exclusion currently associated with legal interventions across the life course transitions of two unique generations of American families. There is no other data set that can offer such robust measurement possibilities across generations, capturing at this crucial moment the unfolding life course consequences of a historically unique national experiment with mass incarceration.

摘要：《父母监禁和代际社会排斥》(Hagan&amp；Foster)问题：父母在监狱里有什么不同？美国的监禁人数是20世纪70年代的四倍，是欧洲和斯堪的纳维亚国家的六到十倍，而且大多数被监禁的美国人都是父母。在国家青少年健康纵向研究[ADD Health]中，年轻美国人的样本包括2086名父亲的儿女，他们在这个国家的监禁高峰时期曾在监狱或监狱中度过一段时间。这项提议涉及合作收集新的数据，这些数据将揭示监禁Add Health Parents的时间和频率，以便我们能够追踪这种父母监禁对他们的儿女从青春期中期到成年早期的影响。这些青年因父母监禁而面临的“社会排斥”风险可能有多种形式：法律(刑事司法接触)；社会经济(无家可归)；政治(被剥夺选举权)；健康(无保险)；文化(电子断开)；社会(孤立)；宗教(精神上的剥夺)。挑战是加深和扩大我们对监禁父母的跨代后果的理解。广泛的影响：父母监禁对他们的孩子的排他性后果有多广泛和广泛？与美国白人父母相比，受教育程度较低的非洲裔和西语裔美国父母面临更大的监禁风险。关于父母监禁的时间和频率的数据收集将创造一个无与伦比的机会，在美国监禁率上升的独特时期，以具有全国代表性的样本来审查父母监禁的影响。Add Health样本将允许跨种族/民族进行分析，包括关注犯罪研究中很少考虑的西班牙裔家庭。这项研究将考虑母亲和女儿以及父亲和儿子，还将包括继父母。包括在Add Health调查中的广泛的排除结果将允许对几代父母监禁的影响进行全面评估。值得注意的是，所衡量的每个排除领域都涉及一些法律控制或认证元素，表明这项研究的结果将对法律监管和改革产生影响。通过将父母被监禁的历史添加到具有全国代表性和历史唯一性的ADD Health数据中，这项研究将显著扩大机会，了解目前与法律干预有关的广泛的社会排斥风险，跨越两代独特的美国家庭的生命历程过渡。没有其他数据集可以提供如此强大的跨代测量可能性，在这个关键时刻捕捉到历史上独一无二的大规模监禁全国试验正在展开的生命历程后果。
