The Effects of Adolescent Development on Policing
Law enforcement’s interaction with youth is an integral part of carrying out policing duties. Approximately 4 to 5 million youth ages 16-19 have face-to-face interactions with police annually and in 2012, there were over a million arrests of persons under the age of 18 in the United States.
A 2009 study comparing police behavior with juvenile and adult suspects found that juveniles are significantly more likely to be arrested than adults and officers exercised greater levels of authority when juvenile suspects were considered to be disrespectful.
