Ongoing Research and Program Evaluation Efforts Related to Justice-Involved Parents and Youth

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) promotes the economic and social well-being of families, children, individuals, and communities. Several ACF programs interact with justice-involved and incarcerated parents and youth in an effort to promote economic self-sufficiency and social well-being for them and their families. We are implementing rigorous research and evaluation projects to better understand how to serve these parents and youth. OPRE publishes these briefs to describe ongoing research and evaluation projects related to justice-involved, incarcerated, and formerly incarcerated parents and youth.
