Adult Development and the Law
Authors: Redlich Allison D. , Quas Jodi A. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In the second section of the Oxford Handbook of Developmental Psychology and the Law, leading scholars describe how young, middle-aged, and older adults’ experiences with the justice system are complex and broad. For some, this includes contact with the criminal justice system, when, for example, younger or older adults are suspected of committing crimes or have potentially witnessed crimes. They must be questioned and possibly participate in criminal proceedings as a result. For others, this includes contact after criminal conviction. For example, mothers but also older adults may be living behind bars often with children or significant health needs that shape their legal experiences. For others, legal experiences focus on their rights as individuals to make decisions about themselves, their bodies, and their families and children. As the chapters highlight, there is enormous value in terms of both policy and practice to viewing legal involvement through the lens of lifespan development.
Understanding Deviancy in Adulthood
Authors: Narvey Chelsey S. , Piquero Alex R. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The current chapter provides an overview of the present state of research on adult deviancy, with a specific focus on adult criminal offending. The chapter outlines the relationship between age and crime, providing an understanding of the age–crime curve. Additionally, it reviews two main theories that discuss this relationship, comparing and contrasting their central tenets. Based on these theoretical foundations, the current state of the literature regarding onset of criminal offending is presented, providing two differing sets of opinions: one, that adult-onset criminality does not exist, but instead that these individuals had been engaging in offending behavior throughout the life course; two, that adult-onset offending does indeed exist and can be explained. Lastly, the chapter discusses implications for research, policy, and practice.
Adults With Developmental Disabilities in the Criminal Justice System
Authors: Salekin Karen L. , Wood Mary E. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Individuals with developmental disabilities, especially intellectual disability, present with characteristic deficits in their intellectual functioning and social–interpersonal skills that place them at a unique disadvantage at nearly every stage of the criminal justice process, from initial involvement in criminal conduct and/or victimization through sentencing. The current chapter reviews the literature regarding the ways in which these deficits interact with criminal justice involvement, including adjudicative competence, capacity to waive Miranda rights, and culpability. This review culminates with a discussion of potential solutions to improve the identification of individuals with developmental disabilities in the criminal justice system, as well as ways to reduce the potential detrimental impact of their deficits in an adversarial system.
The Impact of Reproductive Rights on Women’s Development
Authors: Whelan Allison M. , Bratcher Goodwin Michele 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Reproductive health, an essential element of women’s overall health, shapes and influences physical, mental, and socioeconomic development and well-being. Further, the decision of whether, when, and how to build a family and birth a child can profoundly affect short- and long-term adult development and well-being. As a result, laws, policies, and practices that influence reproductive health may positively influence or undermine a woman’s development, depending on whether they facilitate or restrict access to care. As the United States leads industrialized nations in maternal mortality and morbidity, examining the impacts of reproductive rights on women’s development represents an urgent concern. This chapter focuses primarily on abortion, contraception, and pregnancy to demonstrate how reproductive health encompasses a broad array of important issues. It reviews relevant laws, policies, and practices that shape aspects of reproductive health and describes their effects on various facets of development. It concludes by discussing the implications of the current evidence and offering suggestions for further research.
Developmental Pathways to Antisocial Behavior
Authors: Frick Paul J. , Kemp Emily C. , Speck Julianne S. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter illustrates a developmental psychopathology approach to understanding antisocial behavior in children and adolescents. Specifically, the chapter summarizes research suggesting that there are three common ways that various risk factors can influence critical developmental mechanisms that make a child more likely to act in ways that violate the rights of others or that violate major societal norms, both of which can lead to justice system involvement. One such pathway involves youth who do not show serious conduct problems until they approach adolescence and who then seem to experience an exaggeration of typical adolescent rebellion associated with identity formation. Two other pathways involve conduct problems that emerge earlier in development and that are related to either deficits in the typical development of conscience or deficits in the typical ability to appropriately regulate emotions and behaviors. In summarizing the research supporting these different developmental pathways, the chapter illustrates the implications of this approach for research, assessment, and treatment of youth who show serious antisocial behavior, as well as the implications for juvenile justice policy.
A Commentary on Adulthood/Aging, Developmental Psychology, and the Law
Authors: Rodriguez Nancy , Waggoner Katherine 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The current chapter is a commentary on the chapters on adulthood and aging in this volume. The authors of the chapters make excellent contributions on topics central to the intersection of adulthood and aging and the law. Based on this cumulative body of research, this chapter offers several themes that cut across the chapters. It begins by highlighting the role of social inequality in the life course and why it is increasingly relevant for advancing well-being and improving quality of life. The chapter discusses the alignment of legal policy, social norms around age, and developmental science, as well as how changing social norms are represented in legal policy. It moves on to a discussion on the relationship between criminal justice system outcomes in facilitating and/or inhibiting services for adults and the elderly. Finally, the chapter concludes with a discussion of the implications for research, policy, and practice.
Memory, Suggestibility, and Disclosure Processes
Authors: Slonecker Emily M. , Olaguez Alma P. , Taffe Rachel L. , Klemfuss J. Zoe 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Children’s eyewitness capabilities, suggestibility, and disclosure processes have direct consequences for legal procedures and may shape the progress and outcomes of legal cases. This chapter describes relevant empirical research on child development and explains how research has informed legal practices and policies. In the first of two sections, the chapter provides an overview of children’s memory development during childhood and identifies internal and external factors that are related to children’s memory errors. The chapter then briefly discusses the field’s current knowledge of children’s disclosure and recantation processes. In the second section, the topics from the first section are applied to the legal system and their consequences for forensic interviews and courtroom testimony examined. The chapter concludes with implications for the legal field and identifies directions for future research.
A Developmental Perspective on Unaccompanied Migrant Youth in the U.S. Immigration Legal System
Authors: Brabeck Kalina M. , Gonzalez Deborah , Rendón García Sarah , Pendergast Adrian 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter focuses on a subset of immigrant youth—unaccompanied youth who enter the United States without a caregiver and without legal status—and their experiences as they navigate the U.S. immigration system. The chapter considers (a) how these youth’s developmental capacities and limitations shape their experiences within the U.S. legal system, including detention and deportation proceedings, and (b) how participation in the legal system shapes the youth’s development. It summarizes legal issues affecting migrant youth, including child detention, the Flores settlement, and the Trafficking Victim Protection Reauthorization Act; youth’s experiences in Office of Refugee Resettlement custody; available forms of relief for migrant youth; and youth’s lack of right to counsel in deportation proceedings. It also examines the effects of development on youth’s detention, understanding of and participation in the legal system, and testimony in immigration proceedings. The chapter concludes that the U.S. legal system fails to consider development science in its policies and practices with migrant youth.
Adoption
Authors: Palacios Jesús , Brodzinsky David M. , Grotevant Harold D. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Adoption as a means of creating or expanding a family has undergone some remarkable changes in the past half century, resulting in considerable diversity in the constellation and dynamics of adoptive family life. These changes have been fueled by several societal forces including new adoption laws and regulations, research findings from emerging developmental science, and advocacy efforts by key adoption stakeholders. The current chapter explores the synergistic connections between these forces, and specifically between adoption placement practices, adoption law, and developmental science. The first section explores how adoption has been utilized by researchers to study age-old questions about human development, including the role of early experience on later development, recovery from adversity, critical periods in development, and contextual factors that impede or facilitate recovery from adversity. The second section explores the emergence of diversity in adoption in terms of the characteristics of children being adopted and the adults who are adopting them, which has been influenced by changes in adoption law and supported by empirical research challenging narrowly held views about the type of family that best supports children’s needs. The third section examines more closely several examples of how developmental research has contributed to the emergence of diversity in adoptive family life, influencing decision making by adoption policymakers, agency administrators, and the court. The rich synergistic exchange between adoption practice, the law, and developmental science supports a more refined view of human development and a better understanding of how best to support adoptive family members.
Defoe’s Life and Times
Authors: Cowan Brian 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter situates Daniel Defoe’s life and writings in the literary, social, and political history of Britain from the Restoration to the period following the Hanoverian succession. Defoe was born in the wake of the regicidal revolution that produced the Civil War and a brief period of republicanism; he lived his early life in the context of the legal clampdown on religious dissent, and he started out as a businessman. He was an avid supporter of the Revolution of 1688, which established the Protestant succession and religious toleration for nonconformists. After establishing these wider contexts, the chapter surveys Defoe’s writing career: his reputation in his lifetime as a whiggish and seditious ‘scribbler’ of topical wrings for payment, and the growth in his ‘literary’ reputation in the later eighteenth century. As well as his politics and his writings, the chapter discusses portraits of Defoe and his earnings from his writings.
The Style of Defoe’s Correspondence
Authors: Mierowsky Marc 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines Daniel Defoe’s use of letters, both within printed works that adopt an epistolary format such as The Complete English Tradesman (1725–7) and his personal correspondence with politicians and other associates. The chapter reveals Defoe’s cultivation of what he understood to be a ‘plain’ prose style as a literary and ethical ideal. It thus explores Defoe’s self-fashioning as a plain-dealer in his letters by setting his epistolary corpus in the context of his political career. It appraises Defoe’s use of instructional letters to promote social values among ordinary readers. And it attends to Defoe’s use of the letter genre in polemical pamphlets, particularly those addressed to Dissenters. Finally, it analyses Defoe’s epistolary novel, A Continuation of Letters Written by a Turkish Spy (1718), which operates as an instructional guide and as an exploration through letters of a complicated personal identity.
Defoe and Satire
Authors: Hone Joseph 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines Daniel Defoe’s satirical output. It demonstrates the importance of satire in Defoe’s literary career and suggests that he was often a less conventional satirist than most scholars have assumed. Firstly, the chapter explores Defoe’s writings about satire: how it ought to be written and what it might accomplish. It then focuses on the strategies of ‘reform’ that Defoe embedded in his satirical writing, including texts such as The True-Born Englishman (1700/1) and Jure Divino (1706). The final section turns away from poetry to examine Defoe’s reputation as an author of libellous pamphlets, focusing on the fallout from the publication of The Shortest-Way with the Dissenters in 1702.
Gender, Sexuality, and the Status of Women in Defoe’s Writings
Authors: Backscheider Paula R. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In all of the genres in which he wrote, Daniel Defoe made major contributions to our understanding of the social history of women. This chapter elucidates his apprehension of the statuses of various kinds of women, of the determinants of hierarchy, and of the readable status words and markers most important to Defoe. It begins with the relevant definitions of ‘status’ and keeps firmly in mind the imbrication of sex, gender, status, work, and agency. Because marriage and sexuality were of special importance in determining women’s legal and religious rights and limitations as well as sexuality and marriage conditions, these topics receive special attention.
Family and Domesticity in Defoe’s Writings
Authors: Bellamy Liz 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Daniel Defoe’s writings have been cited by both sides in the debate over whether family structures were characterized by change or continuity in early modern England. This essay analyses representations of domesticity in Defoe, to explore the relationship between fictional and non-fictional constructions, and assess their ideological, historical, and literary significance. It argues that Defoe’s works cannot be accommodated into conventional paradigms of a shift from feudalism to capitalism, or from public to private ideology. Instead, both the fiction and non-fiction construct a domestic model which represents a radical mercantile appropriation of the extended family, framing economic and inherently exploitative relationships in the language of paternal duty and patriarchal authority. At the same time, the development of Defoe’s novels shows increasing awareness of the drama within domestic life, and the potential of the family as the primary source of fiction.
Defoe’s Poetry
Authors: Novak Maximillian E. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
At a time of a wide appreciation of political poetry, Daniel Defoe produced a number of excellent political poems. At his best Defoe was able to infuse his arguments with the indignation and power of an Andrew Marvell. And on occasions he was able to reveal some of the cleverness that marked the verse of John Dryden. He was a star of the many volumed anthology Poems on Affairs of State (1716), but his reputation as poet suffered from both the changing taste in poetry towards a more aesthetic model and from Defoe’s reputation as a political turncoat. But Defoe was not a novelist who happened to write a few poems. He continued writing poetry from his youthful ‘Meditations’ to the religious poetry—some argumentative, some devotional—of his final years. He experimented with a variety of verse forms, from ballads to odes, and regarded his poetry with seriousness.
Intelligence, Espionage, and the Ethics of Surveillance in Defoe’s Writings
Authors: Ellison Katherine 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter situates Daniel Defoe’s writings about ‘intelligence’ and ‘espionage’ in the contexts of developing practices and theories of secret service work and the writer’s own career as a political agent. The first section surveys ideas about intelligence and espionage inherited by Defoe and his contemporaries from Renaissance writers and secretaries of state. It then moves to Defoe’s career, under William III, Queen Anne, and George I, during which time he undertook extensive government work, as an anonymous writer, as a disperser of propaganda, and as a political operative, including on location in Edinburgh during the parliamentary debates leading to the ratification of the Anglo-Scottish Union in 1707. After 1714, Defoe worked as a counter-propagandist, managing and contributing to newspapers, attenuating their criticisms of the Whig ministry. In the final section, the essay turns to intelligence systems and networks in Defoe’s fictions.
Racial and National Identities in Defoe’s Writings
Authors: Swaminathan Srividhya 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter attends to the fluid and contradictory constructions of racial and national identity in Daniel Defoe’s writings. Defoe’s sense of Englishness is bound up with broader ideas about Britishness and Europeanness, and in his writings traits associated with these groups are often compared to ‘Other’ groups of ‘foreign’ or ‘savage’ or ‘barbarous’ origins. However, none of Defoe’s opinions about racial or national character appear fixed and often come into conflict within the same work. Works across several genres, including his poem The True-Born Englishman (1700/1) and novel Captain Singleton (1720), demonstrate the conflation of nation and race, the contradictions inherent in descriptions of specific peoples, and the burgeoning justifications for colonialism and imperialism that would form the backbone of English and British identity in the later part of the eighteenth century.
Defoe and Drama
Authors: Wall Cynthia 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Although he experimented with almost every other available genre, Daniel Defoe did not write plays, and across his writings, he condemned the theatre as an immoral entertainment. As a devout Dissenter, he could not approve of drama. But as a ‘fabulous Proteus’, he could not help but be drawn to it. He acknowledged the possibility that the stage could promote moral conduct if it really wanted to; in Moll Flanders (1722), ‘there is not a superlative Villain brought upon the Stage, but either he is brought to an unhappy End, or brought to be a Penitent’. Of his own Family Instructor (1715), he notes with satisfaction that ‘some have call’d it a Religious Play’: its scenes of dialogue are designed to ‘divert and instruct’. This chapter traces Defoe’s exploitation of dramatic form in his conduct books and novels, in which he lavishly embedded scenes of dramatic dialogue, complete with stage directions.
Defoe’s Periodical Journalism
Authors: Marshall Ashley 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter situates Daniel Defoe’s prolific production of periodical journalism in the broader context of a burgeoning media culture in early eighteenth-century Britain which followed the lapse of the Licensing Act in 1695. Defoe’s most sustained and successful venture was the Review (1704–13), and the chapter traces the developing political objectives and allegiances of this journal, as well as its social commentary, its formal innovations, and the commentary it attracted from Defoe’s contemporaries. The chapter also attends to Defoe’s less long-lived periodicals, including The Master Mercury (1704), Mercator (1713–14), and The Manufacturer (1719–21), which address developments in international affairs, finance, and commerce. Periodical journalism was a major means through which Defoe propagated his ideas on a range of subjects, and he contributed significantly to the advent of regular public commentary on political and social topics.
Defoe as Historian
Authors: Bullard Rebecca 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Across his lifetime, Daniel Defoe wrote a number of works of history in a range of genres. These include pamphlets that survey recent developments in state affairs, secret histories that purport to expose behind-the-scenes political machinations, full-scale histories such as The History of the Union of Great Britain (1709/10), and historical novels such as Memoirs of a Cavalier (1720). This chapter argues that to understand Defoe as a historian we must acknowledge his work as a political agent and recognize that the writing of history in this period was not a dispassionate exercise that strove for objectivity, but rather a means to promulgate a particular partisan outlook. Defoe’s historical fictions grow out of his practice as a political writer, but they also reach for imaginative and affective engagements with the past, and thereby constitute a new kind of historical writing.
Theory of Education
Authors: Winkler Michael 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Schleiermacher’s “Lectures on Education” enjoy ongoing importance for the scientific and theoretical approach to education broadly conceived. Although the lectures follow a concept of general pedagogy (Allgemeine Pädagogik), they remain valuable both for research and for the training of professionals in social pedagogy and social work. They offer a complex understanding of education, grounded in the relationship between successive generations and the development of the individual person living at a certain time in a given society. Schleiermacher developed his theory amidst the historical changes he faced in his own time, enabling a modern understanding of education with its own dignity and logic. He understood that education has to be focused on equipping the young person for a life in freedom and autonomy within the limitations necessary for modern societies.
Psychology and Anthropology
Authors: Meier Dorothea 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
On the basis of all available textual witnesses, this chapter discusses crucial characteristics of Schleiermacher’s psychology and interprets it as a hermeneutic explication of the soul. More particularly, the chapter focuses on the relationship between psychology and anthropology, schematically traces the outline of the theory of mental operations, sketches the systematic location of this important discipline within Schleiermacher’s thinking, and provides historical information on the genesis of his four lectures on psychology. Although Schleiermacher’s philosophical doctrine of the soul has not had a formative influence on modern scientific psychology, it crosses multiple disciplines, and has a well-established place in Schleiermacher research.
