Over seven percent of all children in the United States have experienced a parental incarceration. Children and other dependents suffer the collateral consequences of "preventive justice" measures increasingly used by liberal democratic countries to combat a broad range of suspected crime and anti-state activities. But what does the state owe to the innocent dependents of accused caregivers? In Born Innocent, Michael J. Sullivan explores the impact ofvicarious punishment on children, with a particular focus on children subject to family separation based on their identity, allegiances, and immigration status. The book provides one of the first unified treatments of state-sponsored family separation and its impact on disadvantaged citizens andimmigrants.
