“…Experiencing vicarious exposure to arrests, probation, and incarceration within the context of parents and siblings is also notably disparate (Boen et al., 2022). Parents and siblings from racially minoritized backgrounds face heightened levels and earlier vulnerability to such exposure.…”

“…For example, at age 50, an estimated one in five Black parents had undergone the distressing ordeal of having a child incarcerated—a risk approximately twice as high as that for White parents and 50% higher than for Latino/a/e parents. By age 26, six in ten Black youth with brothers had observed a brother's arrest, four in ten had a brother on probation, and more than three in ten had witnessed their brother's incarceration (Boen et al., 2022). This has led efforts to divert from disciplinary or formal adjudication processes and use more community‐based programs to decrease incarceration; however, youth of color continue to be disproportionately incarcerated (Rovner, 2021; Sickmund et al., 2021).…”

The 2020 Juvenile Residential Facility Census reports that roughly 25,000 youth in the United States (U.S.) are incarcerated—placing the United States as the leading nation in number of juveniles in correctional facilities worldwide. This paper aims to highlight an overlooked population impacted by this issue: not the incarcerated youth themselves, but their siblings. This paper first grounds historical trends, the effects of racialized sociopolitical systems on disparate rates of incarceration, and the current state of youth incarceration, with a specific focus on impacts on families. This paper reviews the literature on how families are affected by the juvenile justice system in terms of their well‐being, education, and other outcomes—drawing from the small body of research directly on siblings and hypothesizing impacts in need of further study based on families' experiences in the criminal justice system. We present historical and current issues/limitations to understanding and addressing the impacts of youth incarceration on siblings, concluding with areas of future research needed to address the impacts that a youth's incarceration has on their siblings and family.

“…Similarly, restricting gender and sexual equality by enacting laws that impinge on civil, political, or social rights creates health inequity and is hence detrimental to population health (Bagade et al 2020, Du Bois et al 2018, Kavakli & Rotondi 2022, Kennedy et al 2021, Latt et al 2019, Pearson et al 2021. Policies related to the criminal-legal system also cause a variety of ills for individuals and communities who come into contact with its institutions (Boen et al 2022, Bor et al 2018, Hawks et al 2020, Klein & Lima 2021. Environmental and climate policies, too, are significant contributors to population health (Ebi et al 2017, Majeed & Ozturk 2020.…”

The public's health is intimately linked to politics and policy. But political science has yet to make a major contribution to understanding the political economy of health (as distinct from medical care). In order to advance understanding of the drivers of health in an era of emerging infectious disease and global pandemics, more political scientists must begin to do what we are uniquely well situated to do: analyze in a contextualized way the pathways and mechanisms through which power configurations cause illness and inequity. This article reviews key findings from recent literature about the policy, political, and structural contributors to population health and health equity and sketches what a political economy of health more deeply rooted in political science could look like. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Political Science, Volume 26 is June 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

Child Incarceration and Maternal Alcohol Use: Disentangling Within- and Between-Person Processes

Having a child incarcerated can take a toll on the physical, psychological, and financial well-being of mothers. These factors could, in turn, affect behavioral outcomes of mothers, such as alcohol use patterns. Some mothers might drink to cope with the experience of having a child incarcerated, but others may reduce alcohol use for various reasons. Given these uncertainties, the authors examined the association between child incarceration and maternal alcohol consumption (i.e., any use, frequency, quantity, and binge drinking). Eight waves of nationally representative data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 cohort were linked with the National Longitudinal Survey Children and Young Adults ( n = 3,837 mothers; 678 had children incarcerated). Multilevel generalized linear regression models showed that compared with mothers with no child incarceration, mothers of ever-incarcerated children were more likely to binge drink and consume more drinks when drinking (between-person effects). In contrast, following child incarceration, women consumed alcohol less frequently and were less likely to binge drink than they were prior to experiencing child incarceration (within-person effects). Additional research should focus on mechanisms that explain these opposing associations to identify protective factors and institutional supports for women whose children have been incarcerated.
