| Summary |
"Multi-method, interdisciplinary study of the most recent quantitative and qualitative studies about vulnerable nonresident fathers. Breaks out of familiar boundaries based on race/ethnicity and marital status at birth. Focuses on the commonalities among nonresident fathers who are unable to support their children, given the mass incarceration and unemployment of the past two decades. Shows how to re-orient policies affecting vulnerable fathers, their children and families from the perspective of a leading contributor to research, policy, and practice in this field over the same period.
