  26. BUT… science defends the Supreme Court’s decision!

  27. Paraphrasing the Miller v. Alabama ruling, here is a simplified list of some of those distinctive attributes. Children…Based on these attributes, the Court decided that “penalties on juvenile offenders cannot proceed as though they were not children,” and “sentencing practices that are permissible for adults may not be so with children” (http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/10-9646g2i8.pdf).

  28. Paraphrasing the Miller v. Alabama ruling, here is a simplified list of some of those distinctive attributes. Children…- Lack maturity and have an underdeveloped sense of responsibility. - Are “more vulnerable to negative influences and outside pressures” (including family and/or peers). - Have limited control over their environment. - Lack the ability to remove themselves from “horrific, crime- producing” settings. - Do not have the same well-formed character development adults do. - Exhibit traits that are “less fixed” than an adult’s, so that their actions display less evidence of “irretrievable depravity” (i.e., they are more open to the possibility of rehabilitation).Based on these attributes, the Court decided that “penalties on juvenile offenders cannot proceed as though they were not children,” and “sentencing practices that are permissible for adults may not be so with children” (http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/10-9646g2i8.pdf).

  29. From the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: “With an immature prefrontal cortex, even if teens understand that something is dangerous, they may still go ahead and engage in the risky behavior” (http://www.hhs.gov/).

  30. As Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore states “There’s no evidence that the brain is somehow set and can’t change after early childhood. In fact, it goes through this very large development throughout adolescence and right into the 20s and 30s; even after that it’s plastic forever; the plasticity is a baseline state, no matter how old you are. That has implications for things like intervention programs and educational programs for teenagers” (Blakemore Interview).

  31. Activity 5 - Sarah-Jayne Blakemore’s talk “The mysterious workings of the adolescent brain”produced by TED Talks SARAH-JAYNE BLAKEMORE is a Royal Society University Research Fellow and Full Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London, UK. Blakemore’s research centers on the development of social cognition and executive function in the typically developing adolescent brain, using a variety of behavioral and neuroimaging methods. (15 min.)1
