UCI mentioned:
Kristin Turney, a professor of sociology at the University of California, Irvine,
reached similar conclusions in a report published this past September. Turney found
that children with incarcerated parents were three times more likely to suffer from
depression or behavioral problems than the average American child, and twice as likely
to suffer from learning disabilities and anxiety.
