The limited evidence available suggests that parental incarceration severely compromises the development and well-being of children and increases the risk of delinquency. The financial and personal costs to the community of individuals embarking on an offending career are substantial. Significant cost-savings and prevention of victimisation could result from effectively targeting this high-risk population. This research will identify where and when scarce government resources should be targeted. Appropriately timed programs can deliver a range of long-term benefits for children, families and communities. The research will also investigate the reintegration of prisoners into their families, with the aim of reducing prisoner recidivism.

现有的有限证据表明，父母监禁严重损害了儿童的发展和福祉，并增加了犯罪的风险。开始犯罪生涯的个人给社区带来的经济和个人成本是巨大的。有效地针对这一高危人群，可以节省大量费用并防止受害。这项研究将确定稀缺的政府资源应在何处和何时使用。适当安排时间的项目可以为儿童、家庭和社区带来一系列长期效益。这项研究还将调查囚犯重返家庭的情况，目的是减少囚犯再犯。
