TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Adolescent development and juvenile justice JO - American journal of community psychology A1 - Reppucci, N. D. SP - 307 EP - 326 VL - 27 IS - 3 N2 - The central question examined in this address is, "Do children's crimes make them adults " I begin by focusing on the concept and history of adolescence in our society. I then examine the development and philosophy of the juvenile justice system. Adolescent development and juvenile justice are brought together around the concepts of maturity, judgment, and competence, followed by a brief introduction to some current research that we are engaged in regarding the issues of adjudicatory and culpability competence. I conclude with suggested directions for future work.
