Abstract | With rapid growth in female incarceration rates, an unprecedented number of children are growing up in households with incarcerated mothers. This study examines the influences of timing and dosage on the relations between maternal incarceration and adolescent children's high school dropout rate as well as on the association between maternal incarceration and the youth's risk of incarceration. The length and frequency of the mother's separation from her child are here described as dosage. The article analyzes data on 9,563 children who are between the ages of 5 and 17 when their mothers enter either jail or prison. A sibling-pair sample is used to control for unobserved maternal household-level characteristics, and the results suggest that only adolescent boys are sensitive to the timing of maternal incarceration, as exposure during early adolescence is associated with larger negative school outcomes than those for exposure during middle childhood or late adolescence. Boys are found to be more sensitive than girls to the frequency of maternal incarceration, but girls are more sensitive to length. Both display sensitivity to dosages of maternal incarceration, and the direction of relations is unexpected. |
