      abstract = {The collateral damage of parental incarceration to  children is a hidden cost of current punitive criminal  sentencing policies that overlook the needs of children and  impose barriers to maintaining strong parent-child bonds.  This paper presents a familyfocused approach to criminal  sentencing, which aims to promote better outcomes for  offenders and their children by aligning sentencing  decisions to the severity of the crime committed, the risks  and strengths of the offender, and the offender’s family  context. It will address existing gaps in federal and state  sentencing guidelines and provide policy and practice  recommendations to help advance family-focused sentencing  in Illinois.},
