New Book About Youth False Confessions and Guilty Pleas

This new volume covers the developmental science relevant to youth who self-incriminate and explores its implications for practice and policy. It is a comprehensive, first-of-its kind work designed for practitioners, students, and policy makers, while also remaining accessible to lay audiences. It links developmental science with applied scholarship to help inform practice and facilitate the development of empirically supported policy and law that appropriately account for the developmental capabilities and limitations of youth suspects and defendants.
