- Abstract
Recent Supreme Court decisions have limited the severity of sentencing of juveniles convicted of murder due to their immature development, vulnerabilities to poorly-considered actions, and likelihood for violence desistance over their life course. The present study examines the recidivism of a small sample of individuals convicted of a homicide offense as an adolescent and released from prison as adults. The results revealed a low recidivism rate for any criminal conviction and an even lower rate of reconviction for violent recidivism during a 7.8 year followup in the community. The older age of participants at the time of release from incarceration is suggested as an important factor in their positive post-release adjustment.
