Developmental science, particularly developmental neuroscience, has substantially influenced the modern legal system. However, this science has typically failed to consider the role of puberty and pubertal hormones on development when considering antisocial behavior. This review describes major theoretical positions on the developmental neuroscience of antisocial behavior and highlights where basic developmental neuroscience suggests that the role of puberty and pubertal hormones should be considered. The implications of the current state of the science with respect to developmental neuroscience is considered, particularly what is known in light of development beyond puberty. This review shows that development continues to an older age for many youth than the legal system typically acknowledges. The plasticity of the brain that this continued development implies has implications for the outcome of interventions in the legal system in ways that have not been explored. Future directions for both developmental scientists and legal professions are recommended.
发展科学，尤其是发展神经科学，对现代法律体系产生了重大影响。然而，在考虑反社会行为时，这门科学通常未能考虑青春期及青春期激素在发育过程中的作用。本综述描述了反社会行为发展神经科学的主要理论观点，并强调了基础发展神经科学表明应考虑青春期及青春期激素作用的方面。文中考虑了当前科学现状对发展神经科学的影响，特别是根据青春期之后的发育所了解到的情况。本综述表明，许多青少年的发育持续到比法律体系通常所认可的年龄更大的时候。这种持续发育所暗示的大脑可塑性，对法律体系干预结果有着尚未被探索的影响。文中还为发展科学家和法律专业人士推荐了未来的研究方向。
