Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management
Harvard Kennedy SchoolWe invite you to join us for a special gathering with this innovative public servant on January 26th at Harvard Kennedy School (HKS). PCJ Senior Research Fellow and Young Adult Justice expert Vincent Schiraldi will moderate this event.
In November during his speech at the University of Connecticut Law School, Governor Dannel P. Malloy proposed that his state of Connecticut raise the age of juvenile court jurisdiction through age 20, and that a separate process be developed for handing cases for defendants and offenders under the age of 25. His proposal mirrors recommendations by Harvard Kennedy School researchers, and if enacted, would make Connecticut the first state in US history to raise the age of juvenile, or family, court jurisdiction beyond age 18.
