Abstract
Psychological evaluations regarding adolescents under the jurisdiction of the juvenile system provide important information to the courts and attorneys about relevant issues such as reoffense risk, rehabilitation needs and amenability, and sophistication–maturity. In this chapter, we summarize important developments in the forensic assessment of juveniles, summarize relevant developments in law and science, provide an overview of the process with applicable foundational principles of forensic assessment, and describe the implications for research, policy, and practice.
