Juvenile & Emerging Adult Justice
Neuroscience has transformed what we know about youth and accountability. Research shows that the brain regions responsible for impulse control, judgment, and foresight continue developing into the mid-twenties. The Juvenile & Emerging Adult Justice module translates this science into clear, accessible information so judges, attorneys, and policymakers can align legal decision-making with current research about development, culpability, and capacity for change.
