Temple University has been a Foundation research partner for nearly 20 years, including both the Research Networks on Adolescent Development and Juvenile Justice and on Law and Neuroscience. Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark 2005 decision cited adolescent development research abolishing the juvenile death penalty in Roper v. Simmons, neuroscience has increasingly made its way into the legal and public discourse concerning the appropriate treatment of juveniles and young adults in the justice system. This award supports a by-invitation-only national conference on criminal justice policy and practice that reflects on the past decade of justice system reform, explores the legal implications of current neuroscience research for young adults involved in the justice system, and lays the groundwork for changing the way courts and corrections process, sanction, and rehabilitate young adults who come into conflict with the law.
