| Summary: |
e increase in incarceration in recent decades has been particularly pronounced in the femaleprison population. In a patriarchal society where parenting falls mainly on women, this hasconsequences for them and their children. This article explores to what extent the individualcharacteristics of the children, the context in which they are left and the mother’s convictionare related to greater reports of problematic behaviors. Using a representative sample of femaleprisonersinSantiago,Chile,andthroughlogisticregressions,itisshownthatolderchildrenwholivedwith their mother before incarceration and report problems with the person who is left in charge oftheir care outside prison are more likely to present problem behaviors. These results are robust when considering the mother’s prior risk, measured in substance abuse and recidivism. |
