Not only has it been the subject of thousands of papers published over the past three decades, but it also appears frequently in legal proceedings across criminal, civil, and family court contexts. To have currency in the field, forensic experts and other individuals working in court systems must identify and synthesize a wide and complex body of literature, from the conceptual underpinnings of IPV to issues of memory and trauma, many of which may affect victim participation, testimony, and credibility. In this review, we provide a comprehensive and concise summary of several foundational IPV studies, as well as some that have built upon these theoretical models and empirically tested the premises, focusing on key findings relevant to legal proceedings. We also spotlight potential avenues of expert testimony, including \"counterintuitive\" victim behavior, coercive control, persistence in abusive relationships, delayed reporting, technology-facilitated abuse, and factors that may impact the way in which IPV is manifested or reported (e.g., cultural factors, interpersonal context). Finally, we discuss the wider implications of this work for law and policy, focusing on the continuous need for empirically-grounded testimony in the courtroom.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148388149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While juvenile justice scholarship increasingly emphasizes rehabilitation, and victims' rights literature has advanced child-sensitive protections, minor-on-minor offending remains underexplored across legal and social science disciplines. Part 1 of this two-parts project developed a four-pillar theoretical framework integrating therapeutic justice, developmental principles, relational procedural justice, and children's rights norms. The present Article considers the implementation of the proposed model through two paradigmatic case studies, concerning victim impact statements and the handling of sensitive disclosures. Through these scenarios, the Article addresses possible critiques against the model and illustrates how it can protect minor victims' rights, foster rehabilitation for juvenile defendants, and mitigate secondary trauma for both parties. Building on the theoretical model and case-study analysis, we offer some guiding principles for promoting a developmentally informed and rights respecting juvenile justice system.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148388082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Internalizing disorders such as depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, self-harm, and suicidal behavior are common among justice-involved youth, but often remain overlooked. These conditions influence behavior, increase vulnerability to offending, and heighten the risk of repeated involvement with the juvenile justice system. This review examines the role of internalizing disorders in juvenile offense, and highlights how inward distress can contribute to outward behavioral disturbances. It brings together evidence from multiple countries and shows that untreated internalizing symptoms are linked to higher rates of reoffending, adverse life outcomes, and increased suicide risk. The review also summarizes interventions that address mental health needs among justice-involved youth, including cognitive behavioral therapy, family-based approaches, mindfulness practices, and mentoring models. These interventions show promise for symptom reduction, emotional regulation, and lowering recidivism. The review places special focus on Low- and Middle Income Countries where limited resources, stigma, and gaps in mental health services create major barriers to care. Overall, the findings point to the need for prevention, early recognition and intervention for internalizing disorders within juvenile justice systems.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148303432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Virginia and Roper v. Simmons rest on a single constitutional principle: individuals who lack the behavioral and cognitive capacities necessary for full culpability cannot be sentenced to death. Contemporary neuroscience now provides the ability to measure these capacities directly. Research demonstrates that the neural systems supporting judgment, behavioral inhibition, emotional regulation, and future-oriented reasoning mature heterogeneously, vary substantially across individuals, and can be impaired by developmental deviation, psychiatric illness, traumatic injury, or neurodegenerative disease. Quantitative neuroimaging enables these impairments to be identified through norm-referenced structural and functional metrics, revealing when an individual's neural functioning falls below statistically defined thresholds. Behavioral and cognitive equivalence (BACE) operationalizes the Court's constitutional requirement by determining whether an individual's measurable functioning is equivalent to that of categorically exempt groups. Using validated neuroimaging techniques, normative modeling, and network-level analysis, BACE represents a transparent, reproducible method for assessing diminished capacity consistent with Hall v. Florida and Moore v. Texas. Integrating contemporary neuroscience with constitutional proportionality therefore supports extending categorical protection to individuals whose measurable impairments render them functionally incapable of the culpability required for capital punishment.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148296975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, our scoping review of 99 studies examines the ACEs paradigm and its application to forensic/correctional populations by (1) synthesizing research on ACEs among diverse forensic/correctional populations, particularly youth but also among adults for whom childhood and adolescent adversity has sentencing implications, (2) highlighting intervening processes which mediate, moderate, or redirect the effects of ACEs, and (3) identifying methodological issues and potential confounding effects that pose validity threats to ACEs as an explanatory variable among adolescent and adult offenders and regarding downstream justice system outcomes (e.g., recidivism). When mediating variables are considered, the association between ACEs and antisocial conduct is substantially reduced. Among juvenile offenders, temperament, social bonds, current drug use, or psychopathic features account for 40%-100% of the associations between ACEs and recidivism, gang association, or serious, violent, and chronic offending. These intervening effects are so substantial that studies should migrate from simple ACE-offending designs to more complex, ecologically valid models which specify ACEs as a distal predictor, preferably using longitudinal data. In terms of forensic practice, assessment establishes validity only by respecting the unique experience of the individual rather than homogenizing reactions to abusive home environments, or other circumstances that fractured the family unit. Forensic examination should not overlook downstream life circumstances regardless of their statistical association with ACEs. As a person matures, adult events and experiences more directly influence criminal choices and criminal activity relative to adverse experiences during childhood.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148297006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on K.G.M. v. Meta Platforms, this study develops a \"front-end governance\" framework anchored in the best-interests-of-the-child principle and articulated through three doctrinal pillars, the platform duty of risk mitigation, the regulation of harmful design and risky digital environments, and the foreseeability of risk. An empirical component, based on a cross-sectional survey in China, examines institutional support for prevention. Endorsement is broad, 92% for strengthened market regulation, 91% for cyber-law education, 84% for technical firewalls, and 83% for internet classification and digital curfews. On responsibility allocation, 76% prioritize tri-partite collaborative governance involving families, schools, and society. Multinomial logistic regression indicates occupational positioning is the only significant predictor of priority orientation; regional, income, and educational variation are non-significant once controls are applied, a null pattern we read as suggestive rather than confirmatory. The findings support a shift from ex post sanction to ex ante risk governance, organized around platform accountability, age-appropriate design, rule-of-law education, and graded content ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":47926,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences & the Law","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148273476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
