Bringing Information to Prosecutors and Courts on the Impact of Sentencing Decisions on Offenders' Families and Children
This resource explains how information can be shared to make criminal justice authorities aware of an offender’s family situation to help ensure the best interests of their child(ren) are considered in sentencing decisions. It also addresses some of the challenges that may be encountered in institutionalizing that kind of process, including suggestions of methods to overcome those foreseeable challenges.
