With approximately three million young children facing the adversity of parental imprisonment consistently, the prioritization for analyzing the consequential impacts of parental incarceration on the development and wellbeing of the child has elevated. Constricting on the collective broad topic of parental incarceration and the implications the imprisonment has on the child, the focus of the research has become inquisitive to examine the linkage between the incarceration of the parent to the development of behavioral problems, specifically aggression, in the child. Although there is a vast accumulation of research studying the expansive topic of parental incarceration, additional research should be compiled to narrowly examine the differential impacts of parental incarceration on the genetics and environmental trajectories that mold the development of the child. In accentuating the vitalness of refining the focus of the ramifications of parental incarceration on the wellbeing of the child, the current study aims to investigate the development of child behavioral problems, specifically aggression as it distinctly influences the genetics and environmental trajectories, while controlling for potential other confounders that could impact the development of child behavioral problems. The study underlies certain protective and risk factors that allude to the development of behavioral problems as an underlying result of the imprisonment of the parent.
