Psychological and Emotional Effects of Parental Criminality on Juvenile Behavior

When a parent becomes involved in the criminal justice system, the impact doesn't stop at the prison walls—it ripples through families and, most profoundly, through the lives of their children. This website is dedicated to exploring the often-overlooked psychological and emotional consequences that parental criminality has on youth.

 

Here, I aim to shine a light on the silent struggles children face, from anxiety and depression to behavioral challenges and identity development. Through research, awareness, and resources, my goal is to raise awareness, promote understanding, and encourage action toward better support systems for these vulnerable children.

 

Whether you're a student, professional, caregiver, or advocate, I invite you to explore this complex and crucial issue with compassion and curiosity.
