Notes. Internalizing problem behaviors and externalizing problem behaviors reported by children’s caregivers. Early juvenile delinquency reported by children. Propensity scores are estimated with a logistic regression model estimating maternal incarceration as a function of pre-incarceration covariates. Standard errors in parentheses.
