dc.description.abstractThe IACP project announced by the Deputy Attorney General is part of an overarching White House Domestic Policy Council justice initiative focused on reducing trauma experienced by children who have parents in prison or jail. This is a broad-based undertaking given the myriad of situations in which parental arrest, incarceration, or both can have a negative impact on a child’s physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being. Parental incarceration is now recognized as among the “adverse childhood experiences” that increase a child’s risk of negative outcomes in adulthood, including alcoholism; depression; illegal drug use; domestic violence and other criminal behavior; health-related problems; and suicide, among others.1 Minimizing the trauma experienced by children at the time of their parent’s arrest has the potential to lessen this risk, improving outcomes in the short and long-run.en_US
