Abstract

The United States Supreme Court decision in Miller v. Alabama highlighted the importance of an individual’s “incorrigibility” and the prospect of “irreparable corruption” when weighing possible life sentencing for juveniles convicted of homicide. In this review, we study research in multiple content areas spanning homicide recidivism, life-course-persistent or career criminality, and psychopathology and incorrigibility that bears relevance to the risk assessment of juvenile homicide offenders. A well-developed corpus of research and scholarship in these domains documents the severe, lifelong behavioral impairments of the most violent delinquents. In contrast to studies of non-offender student samples and behaviors that bear no ecological validity to juvenile homicide, the research covered herein emanates from epidemiological surveys, birth cohort studies, large-scale prospective longitudinal studies, and correctional studies including homicide offenders and appropriate control groups of other serious delinquents. A rich research foundation in the social, behavioral, and forensic science informs relevant, reliable, and valid forensic assessments of future criminal deviance and incorrigibility in juvenile homicide offenders.

过失与未成年人凶杀犯：一个生态有效的综合评价

美国最高法院在Miller诉阿拉巴马州一案中的裁决强调了个人“屡教不改”的重要性，以及在权衡被判谋杀罪的青少年可能被判处终身监禁时“无法弥补的腐败”的前景。在这篇综述中，我们研究了多个内容领域的研究，包括凶杀累犯、终身或职业犯罪，以及与青少年凶杀罪犯风险评估相关的精神病理学和屡教不改。这些领域的研究和学术成果丰富，记录了最暴力的罪犯的严重终身行为障碍。与对未犯罪学生样本和行为的研究不同，这些样本和行为对青少年凶杀案没有生态有效性，本文涵盖的研究来自流行病学调查、出生队列研究、大规模前瞻性纵向研究和惩教研究，包括凶杀罪犯和其他严重罪犯的适当对照组。在社会、行为和法医学方面有着丰富的研究基础，为青少年凶杀罪犯未来的犯罪越轨和屡教不改提供了相关、可靠和有效的法医评估。
