Thumbnail preview ANNOTATION: The “purpose of this report is action. It is intended to be a tool that assists policymakers, practitioners, government agency staff, advocates, and families to enact positive changes to benefit the lives of New York’s children” (p. 9). It can be used as a starting point for the efforts of other states in making the lives of children with incarcerated parents more safe and nurturing. Four sections are contained in this publication: what we know about children of incarcerated parents; the criminal justice system; children’s service systems—caregiver support and family stability, education, mental and physical health, and child welfare; and coordination, implementation, and accountability.
