Parental justice-involvement, including parental incarceration and/or supervision on parole or probation, is often associated with lasting challenges for families. This project explores the experiences of adult children with parental justice-involvement. While existing research has focused primarily on the immediate effects of parental incarceration on minor children, fewer studies have explored these experiences with adult children. Additionally limited work has looked at justice-involvement more broadly as opposed to specific parental incarceration. This study seeks to address this gap by investigating the lived experiences of adult children with justice-involved parents using semi-structured interviews. The findings will contribute to academic discourse and inform policies and practices aimed at supporting individuals affected by parental justice-involvement.
