"The notion that 'family life' is an important dimension of the crime problem is also widespread, but has served primarily as a resource for advocates of the 'culture of welfare' explanation of 'underclass' behavior." - Katherine Beckett.
This quote represents a peek into the work I am doing. For example, a similar quote from myself: "Conservative movements have created get tough policies which increase imprisonment and harm offender's children in a multitude of ways. Among these are the aforementioned financial, emotional, educational and health burdens and the risk of intergenerational incarceration. It is interesting that it is conservative movements that advocate keeping the family together to minimize the harmful effects on children."
