“…Not surprisingly, mentally retarded youth who are found incompetent are less likely than other incompetent youth to achieve competence (McGaha et al, 2001). Also, research with adults has noted that although psycholegal education programs have shown some success with adults with mild mental retardation, the impact has generally been quite modest (Anderson & Hewitt, 2002;Haines, 1983).…”

With the application of adjudicative competence requirements to adolescent defendants, there is a growing need for interventions to enhance the legal capacities of adolescents who are found to be incompetent. By reviewing developmental, clinical, and educational research, the authors discuss whether it is possible to enhance youths' legal capacities and, if so, what the most promising approaches may be. Psychoeducational interventions for youth are discussed, as well as the possibility of changing the demands of the juvenile justice system to try borderline-competent youth in juvenile court. The authors conclude that there is evidence to believe it may be challenging to enhance youths' legal capacities, particularly when youth have limited rational understanding and/or legal reasoning capacities, and when these deficits stem from developmental immaturity and/or mental retardation. A research agenda is proposed.

The aim of this article is to conduct a systematic review of articles on both the conceptualization and the measurement possibilities of legal consciousness (hereinafter LC). There are two main goals of this review: the unification of the so far highly diverse terminology and the exploration of recent measurement methods in the field.We argue that further development of LC research field is of crucial importance in current legal science, because LC itself can be understood and explored as one of the core elements of the legitimacy of any legal system (Jennes & Calavita, 2018;Young, 2014). Generally, two different ways of accessing legitimacy of law can be distinguished. First, legitimate law should be "justifiable" (i.e., considered as potentially just and acceptable by legal philosophers and other professionals). Second, legitimate law ought to be also "justified" (i.e., considered as actually just and acceptable by citizens Anuario de Psicología Jurídica (2021) 31 9-34 h t t p s : / / j o u r n a l s. c o p m a d r i d. o rg / a p j
