Abstract
Since the mid-1970s the United States has experienced an enormous rise in incarceration and accompanying increases in returning prisoners and in post-release community correctional supervision. Poor urban communities are disproportionately impacted by these phenomena.
Introduction
Since the mid-1970s the United States has experienced an enormous rise in incarceration.
Prisoner Reentry in the Era of Mass Incarceration
Understanding the links between incarceration, prisoner reentry, and communities requires an appreciation of four key features of the prison boom. First, the rise in incarceration has been disproportionately experienced by minorities, particularly young black men, and those with low levels of education.
Effects of Incarceration and Reentry on Communities
We now turn to the question of how mass incarceration has affected the social and economic structure of American communities. Sampson (2011) recently observed that research on incarceration has undergone a sea change in recent years.
Effects of Communities on Prisoner Reentry
What might explain the effects of community context on prisoner reentry outcomes? One perspective comes from theories on the adverse consequences of living in neighborhoods with high concentrations of disadvantaged households.
Conclusion
This review has focused on two aspects of incarceration, prisoner reentry, and communities: (1) the impact of high rates of incarceration and prisoner reentry on communities and (2) the role that communities play in the social and economic reintegration of former prisoners. We have largely treated these topics separately.

Is child care a social pedagogy?
In much of Europe child care is seen as social pedagogy. This sees care and education as interwoven and inseparable, and views a child as a whole. There is an attempt to integrate the various agencies and disciplines that help to shape the development of a child so that they function as parts of the same system or process. All professionals are involved in the life of children as social pedagogues, though they will bring different specialisms.
Why do some children fail to thrive in their own families?
Some children fail to thrive in their own families and communities for a variety of reasons including poverty, war and epidemics like HIV/Aids; adoptive families report chronic challenges which give the lie to the notion that adoption is a neat and ‘natural’ option; step-families encounter the sort of dilemmas brought into public consciousness by books like Joanna Trollope’s Other Peoples’ Children; foster care suffers from the risk of the breakdown or disruption of placements; and the history of residential care is littered with examples of poor and abusive practice. There have, despite all the achievements and good qualities of each form of child care, been tragedies catalogued right across the spectrum.

Outcomes for youth placed in congregate care: research highlights
All children need consistent, nurturing adults in their lives in order to form healthy attachments and to develop positive socio-emotional skills.5 While some youth may benefit from the specialized treatment services available in certain congregate care placements, most of these services can also be provided through therapeutic foster care or wraparound and mobile treatment provided to youth in family-based settings.

Some of The Effects of This Divide Between Foster and Residential Care
- This conceptual worldview of child welfare in the UK has many unintended consequences, and this article outlines just four of them. This list is indicative rather than exhaustive, and may serve to encourage further thinking and analysis. It is important to stress that the effects are largely unconscious: the system does not set out, for example, to override the wishes of children and yo…
Towards A Radical Reframing of Child Care
- Why is this reframing so important in the development of UK child care? It could after all be seen as the thoughts of a small minority operating at the margins of foster and residential care! Among the things it would do are several of great significance. Throwing off the Poor Law The Radisson Report charts the way in which European countries other than the UK were forced into major soc…
Conclusion
- Much of this is visionary and speculative, and will remain so until we grasp the nettle. Until we do, foster care will remain undervalued and under-resourced, residential care disparaged, and children unheard. It is a long-term goal, and the next Children Act would seem to be the obvious target. The most likely alliance would seem to be the foster care organisations, NCVCCO, and the full-range …
