Children's Rights and the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child; Relevancy of Neuroscience in UK Youth Justice
No full textIn General Comment 24, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 2019 recognised the importance of the latest neuroscientific research on adolescent brain development to youth justice. This chapter will frame the UNCRC observations and contentious comments about age and child justice systems by examining the current neuroscientific evidence. The UNCRC advocates for removing developmentally delayed children and those with neurodevelopmental disorders or disabilities from the criminal justice system’s remit, including the abolition of low minimum ages of criminal responsibility. However, there is a conflict between this view adopted by the UNCRC concerning children’s capacity and (im)maturity (with developmental delays, neurodevelopmental disorders, and disabilities) and the responses of state parties in the United Kingdom. This chapter examines the extent to which the UNCRC’s approach is being procedurally implemented in state parties concerning neuroscience and what this means for the relevancy of neuroscience in policy reform

International perspectives of neuroscience in the youth justice courtroom /
No full text"This collection presents international viewpoints on interdisciplinary problems that fall under the new and emerging field of neurojustice. The chapters critically explore a wide range of legal problems in youth justice for children and young persons through a neuroscientific lens. This comparative view is informed by analyses from academics and legal practitioners based in England and Wales, Ireland, the United States, and New Zealand. The work brings together a range of perspectives to discuss the use and relevance of neuroscience in the youth justice courtroom, and how neuroscience is currently benefiting and impacting children and young persons in international youth justice trials. The book makes a valuable contribution to the existing literature in this field by offering a thorough examination of the intersection between these disciplines for children and young individuals at different stages of the trial process, including unfitness to plead, sentencing, and mens rea. It will appeal to students, academics and practitioners worldwide working in the areas of Criminal Law, Neurolaw, Neuroethics, Juvenile Law, and Comparative Law"-
Hannah Arendt: "The Human Condition" and the single thought
No full textopenPartendo dalla biografia della filosofa Hannah Arendt e dalla sua esperienza in quanto ebrea durante la seconda guerra mondiale, verrà fatta un’analisi del processo ad Eichmann come esempio di male banale che si insinua nella società laddove manca una coscienza politica. In ultimo, riprendendo lo scopo dell’opera di Hannah Arendt “Vita Activa”, verrà descritta l’importanza di un esercizio della politica continuo e attivo per contrastare il cosiddetto pensiero unico che, secondo l’autrice stessa, ha portato al sopravvento dei totalitarismi del secolo scorso.Starting from the biography of the philosopher Hannah Arendt and her experience as a Jew during the Second World War, an analysis of the Eichmann trial will be made as an example of banal evil that insinuates itself into society where there is no political conscience. Finally, taking up the purpose of Hannah Arendt's work "The Human Condition", the importance of a continuous and active exercise of politics will be described to counter the so-called single thought that, according to the author herself, led to the prevalence of the totalitarianisms of the last century
The light of the eye : doctrine, piety and reform in the works of Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen
No full textBibliography: leaves 376-401.This thesis investigates the ways in which three eighteenth-century writers, Bishop Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen embody orthodox Anglican doctrine according to their individual perceptions of the enlightening properties of Protestant Christianity. After situating them in their respective gender, literary and ecclesiastical contexts, I examine some of their key doctrines and analyse excerpts from their works. My selection of passages from Sherlock's works is fairly comprehensive, but in the case of More and Austen, where there is already a formidable body of literary criticism, it is more selective. Thus, I focus on doctrine in More's tracts, Strictures on the System of Female Education, An Essay on St Paul and most especially Coelebs in Search of a Wife and in the case of Austen, on her prayers and select passages from Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park. I conclude that, although diverse in their particular kind of Anglicanism (High, Evangelical and Median) and in their choice of genre, transparency or obscurity (anonymity and pseudonymity) and the various narratological strategies some of them invoke to circumvent certain taboos, Sherlock, More and Austen champion the same central orthodox doctrines, defend them against current alternatives to orthodoxy such as Latitudinarianism, Deism and various forms of Freethinking, and promote similar moral and ecclesiastical reforms. However, indirectly (through female characters who resist male representation or control) the women writers subject their ostensibly authorially-endorsed male narrators/characters to scrutiny and sometimes (when the males objectify the women) subversion

Outlining the Relationship Between the English Youth Justice System and the Developmental Neurobiology of the Human Brain The Justice System and Developmental Neurobiology
No full textNeuroscience is the study of the molecular, cellular, developmental, physiological, and cognitive processes that underlie nervous system function and, ultimately, behaviour. It rests upon the notion that the mind and behaviour have a physical basis in the brain that underpins how people think and act in specific ways. Modern neuroscience has revealed many processes and mechanisms underpinning cognitive development and its behavioural correlates. It has illuminated how the brain is highly plastic throughout postnatal development, including adolescence. Genetic variation and lived experience impact these processes and underscore the aetiology of developmental neurological conditions (e.g., autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, and developmental learning disorders). In this chapter, we will argue that what has emerged in the 21st century, alongside greater understanding, is a consensus about how the human brain develops before and during adolescence. This has profound implications for how the English criminal justice system imposes criminal responsibility upon children and young people
