New White Paper on Child Support and Reentry

 

The New NIJ-supported white paper,” Child Support and Reentry,” helps us answer the questions: How do child support obligations affect reintegration? How does incarceration affect child support repayment and debt? What policies exacerbate the debt-recidivism link? Which policies show promise in ameliorating it?  Additionally, the paper points to the significant effects of policy reforms have had on the lives of indebted parents and their families, and how these reforms could work together across all three levels of government.  DOWNLOAD THE PAPER
