September 16, 2022 2 Conducting research on the impact of incarceration on the family, especially the children

of the imprisoned individuals there are units of analysis that have to be considered for answering

the research questions on this topic. The unit for analysis is one of the key entities that is being

analyzed in the study. About the research question looking at the individuals in social care for

the children of the incarcerated people, the unit of analysis for this is the individual child because

you have got each child for the incarcerated people. The second unit of analysis is the group that

involves the individuals in the social care for the children of the incarcerated people. Finally, we

have got the social interaction where we have to look at kinship and how it fosters the care

influencing the children of the incarcerated individuals.

In this research, will use the individual unit of analysis since it will be able to bring out a

clear picture for each child of the incarcerated people. This method is one of the best to be used

in this research since it provides a nuanced, empirically rich as well as a holistic account of the

phenomena (Gerring,2007). The main disadvantage of using this unit of analysis is being

methodological rigor, the subjectivity of the researcher, and the external validity of the research

which has been conducted. 3 Reference Gerring, J. (2007) ‘Is There a (Viable) Crucial-Case Method?’, Comparative Political Studies,
