abstract="In a recent series of cases, the US Supreme Court has recognized that &quot;children are different&quot; from adults, concluding that these differences must inform how we treat children accused of serious crimes. If &quot;children are different&quot; when they are charged with homicide and face a possible sentence of life without parole, they are also &quot;different&quot; when they are charged with sex offenses and face the possibility of mandatory lifetime sex-offender registration. The same principles that have led the Court to categorically exempt youths from the death penalty, life without parole for nonhomicide crimes, and mandatory life-without-parole sentences should lead to the abolition of mandatory lifetime juvenile-sex-offender registration. This Essay argues that the Court's reasoning and analysis in recent juvenile-justice cases indicate that mandatory lifetime juvenile-sex-offender registration is ripe for successful challenge.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
