Adolescent Development and Juvenile Justice

Professor Elizabeth Cauffman has received a $3.3 million research grant from the MacArthur Foundation and a $500,000 research grant from the federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. This funding will allow Cauffman to evaluate juvenile offense cases, based on her previous research on adolescent development, to determine which future offenders should be sent through the formal justice system and which to divert to informal processing.
