Its focus was to examine the rights of children of imprisoned parents and to consider the following questions: Are children’s rights considered and respected when their parents are imprisoned? Do the police, prison services, courts take note of the situation of children at each stage of the criminal justice process? This report is based on the findings of research conducted in Denmark, Italy, Poland and Northern Ireland in the course of the project. It looks at the various stages of the criminal justice process – from arrest to release – through the eyes of the children affected, their parents, police officers, prison officers and social workers. It concludes that while some positive initiatives are in place in individual prisons, those are not mainstreamed throughout penal institutions, police services and beyond. Indeed, in most cases, they remain marginal in the context of the overall criminal justice system. Change in this area is therefore urgently needed so the rights of children with imprisoned parents are fully respected across Europe.
