👉 Juvenile research focuses on the unique developmental, psychological, and social characteristics of children and adolescents, particularly those under the age of 18, to understand their behavior, decision-making processes, and responses to various stimuli. This field emphasizes the importance of considering age-specific factors such as cognitive development, emotional maturity, and susceptibility to peer influence when designing studies or interventions. Juvenile research aims to inform policies and practices that promote healthy development and protect vulnerable youth, often highlighting the need for tailored approaches in education, juvenile justice, and mental health services. It seeks to balance the rights and needs of young individuals with societal protection, recognizing their capacity for growth and change while acknowledging their current vulnerabilities.
