A seminal, ground-breaking, timely thoughtful and thought-provoking study, Born Innocent: Protecting the Dependents of Accused Caregivers provides one of the first unified treatments of state-sponsored family separation and its impact on disadvantaged citizens and immigrants. Especially given its relevance to the current social/political issues with respect to DACA juveniles and young adults, and the continuing escalating numbers of incarcerated parents, Born Innocent is especially and unreservedly recommended for personal, professional, community, college, and university library collections. Informatively enhanced with the inclusion of a fifty page bibliography of References, fourteen pages of Notes, and an eight page Index, Born Innocent is also available in a digital book format.
