Certainly, some adolescent offenders have extensive prior damage (either neurological or socioemotional), limited skills, undeveloped conscience, or irrational rage that overwhelms the possibilities for positive developmental change. The amount of potential change surrounding these individuals' future delinquent behavior is therefore more limited and predictable than that of most juvenile offenders. However, these adolescents are very rare and are certainly not the majority of serious adolescent offenders. They are not defined well by the severity of the committing offense but are rather generally identifiable based on the intensity, chronicity, and severity of their prior delinquent behaviors.

Mulvey, Risk Assessment in Juvenile Justice Policy and Practice see note 30, Although these are not new conclusions, a disconnect between this knowledge and the implementation of this knowledge still exists. Perhaps the clearest example of a policy ignoring the realities of clinical judgment and adolescent development is when particular locales give mandatory life sentences without parole to adolescents convicted of certain offenses in adult court. The logic for this practice is that it promotes the legitimate justice system goals of retribution, deterrence, and incapacitation. Based on what we know about adolescent decision making and judgments of future risk, however, it seems that the arguments for the policy as a method of retribution are certainly stronger than those for deterrence or incapacitation. Regarding deterrence, little research supports the idea that adolescent decision making at the time of committing an offense is affected by direct knowledge of th

Mulvey, "Risk Assessment in Juvenile Justice Policy and Practice" (see note 30). Although these are not new conclusions, a disconnect between this knowledge and the implementation of this knowledge still exists. Perhaps the clearest example of a policy ignoring the realities of clinical judgment and adolescent development is when particular locales give mandatory life sentences without parole to adolescents convicted of certain offenses in adult court. The logic for this practice is that it promotes the legitimate justice system goals of retribution, deterrence, and incapacitation. Based on what we know about adolescent decision making and judgments of future risk, however, it seems that the arguments for the policy as a method of retribution are certainly stronger than those for deterrence or incapacitation. Regarding deterrence, little research supports the idea that adolescent decision making at the time of committing an offense is affected by direct knowledge of the specifics of the punishment schemes under the law. If the goal is to achieve the maximum incapacitation benefit from imposing this sentence on juveniles at the beginning of a long criminal career, basing this determination on the current presenting offense is an inexact way to achieve this end. Adolescents who commit very serious offenses, like aggravated assault with a weapon, are still capable of, and likely to experience, developmental change. Regular reassessments of these individuals' level of risk and treatment amenability through early adulthood might foster more efficient uses of prison resources with little compromise to the gains in deterrence from such a policy.

Involvement with the court is also often seen as a mechanism to give an adolescent or family a message that the adolescent's behavior is a serious violation of societal norms and that continued antisocial activity will produce more severe consequences. When it is functioning well in this regard, court professionals and hearings convey concern, firmness, and fairness that translate into respect for the legal process. This demonstration of social disapproval is a very important role of the court, but it is not one directed to only particular individuals, so there is no discussion of it in the context of this paper

See, for example, Peter R. Jones and Philip W. Harris, Developing an Empirically Based Typology of Delinquent Youths, Journal of Quantitative Criminology 15, no. 3 (1999): 251-76, which reports on a large-scale, integrated system (Philadelphia's Program Development and Evaluation System; ProDES) that gathers assessment data, monitors the nature of services provided to all individuals committed to juvenile justice agencies, and measures outcomes such as recidivism. The product of such systems is an empirically and clinically rich dataset that provides information on what types of treatments work or do not work for which types of offenders.
