商品描述

This open access book is the first to offer a systematic overview of the different methods for assessing brain development and a comparative review of how such assessments have already influenced the law. Lawmakers prefer to draw clear distinctions, but biology is characterized by continua: both in terms of how development proceeds within a person and how it differs from other people. However, this does not mean that age limits are arbitrary. This book extends the author's previous research on the Dutch juvenile criminal law, which was founded on the brain development of adolescents and has been in use for more than a decade. The role of age limits in death and life sentences in the US and the new cannabis legislation in Germany are also analyzed in depth. This project combines biological, psychological and social knowledge and puts forward a pragmatic proposal to connect the two fields of brain development and law. It will be of interest to researchers, professionals (e.g. judges, legislators) and students alike.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本開放存取的書籍是首部系統性概述評估大腦發展的不同方法,並對這些評估如何影響法律進行比較回顧的作品。立法者傾向於劃分明確的界限,但生物學的特徵是連續性:無論是在個體內部的發展過程,還是與其他人之間的差異。然而,這並不意味著年齡限制是任意的。本書擴展了作者對荷蘭青少年刑法的先前研究,該研究基於青少年的大腦發展,並已使用超過十年。書中還深入分析了美國死刑和終身監禁中的年齡限制,以及德國的新大麻立法。本項目結合了生物學、心理學和社會學的知識,提出了一個務實的提案,以連結大腦發展與法律這兩個領域。這本書將對研究人員、專業人士(例如法官、立法者)和學生都具有興趣。
