Abstract
Chapter 6 discusses recent findings in biological and neurological development that may potentially impact the legal socialization process. Although biology is of central importance when talking about development of any kind, legal socialization scholars have largely ignored the role biology plays in the process. This represents a fundamental gap within the literature as it has becoming increasingly clear that how people interface with laws and legal authority are affected by their biological maturity. In particular, recent research has highlighted multiple neurological networks following different developmental trajectories that are fundamental to people’s capacity to regulate their social and legal behavior. Although this work has not been formally incorporated into the legal socialization context, it aligns nicely with the approaches outlined in chapters 4 and 5.
