Beyond the Death Penalty and Life without Parole: Centering Adolescent Development
Juvenile Law Center is launching the commemoration of their 45th Anniversary with 45-minute lunchtime conversations on some of the most pressing issues on behalf of youth in the child welfare and justice systems.
This week: "Beyond the Death Penalty and Life without Parole: Centering Adolescent Development"
A series of SCOTUS decisions have established that “kids are different”. This conversation will explore how adolescent developmental science can further inform our systems, laws and policies.
