Disrupted Childhoods explores the issues that arise from a mother's confinement and provides first-person accounts of the experiences of children with moms behind bars. Jane A. Siegel offers a perspective that recognizes differences over the long course of a family's interaction with the criminal justice system. Presenting an unparalleled view into the children's lives both before and after their mothers are imprisoned, this book reveals the many challenges they face from the moment such a critical caregiver is arrested to the time she returns home from prison. Based on interviews with nearly seventy youngsters and their mothers conducted at different points of their parent's involvement in the process, the rich qualitative data of Disrupted Childhoods vividly reveals the lived experiences of prisoners' children, telling their stories in their own words. Siegel places the mother's incarceration in context with other aspects of the youths' experiences, including their family life and social worlds, and provides a unique opportunity to hear the voices of a group that has been largely silent until now.Rutgers series in childhood studies.Children of women prisonersUnited StatesPrisoners' familiesUnited StatesElectronic books.Children of women prisonersPrisoners' families362.82/950973Siegel Jane A.1949-1042267MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457206803321Disrupted childhoods2466374UNINA05983nam 2200757 a 450 991096358730332120240514051102.01-283-31228-X978661331228090-272-7566-110.1075/cilt.166(CKB)2550000000063862(EBL)794800(OCoLC)768761901(SSID)ssj0001011104(PQKBManifestationID)11933232(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001011104(PQKBWorkID)11004657(PQKB)11184180(MiAaPQ)EBC794800(Au-PeEL)EBL794800(CaPaEBR)ebr10509631(DE-B1597)719779(DE-B1597)9789027275660(EXLCZ)99255000000006386219980713d1998 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrLexical perspectives on transitivity and ergativity causative constructions in English /Maarten Lemmens1st ed.Amsterdam ;Philadephia J.

However, on the basis of extensive synchronic and diachronic data on verbs of killing (e.g. kill, execute, choke or drown), it is shown that 'transitivity' and 'ergativity' are not absolute but prototypical characteristics of verbs which may be overruled by the semantics of the coAmsterdam studies in the theory and history of linguistic science.Series IV,Current issues in linguistic theory ;v. 166.Grammar, Comparative and generalVerbCausative (Linguistics)SemanticsEnglish languageTransitivityEnglish languageErgative constructionsGrammar, Comparative and generalVerb.Causative (Linguistics)Semantics.English languageTransitivity.English languageErgative constructions.415Lemmens Maarten175586MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963587303321Lexical perspectives on transitivity and ergativity542092UNINA
