Legal Momentum’s National Judicial Education Program has created a set of educational materials for judges, courts, court-related professionals, schools, parents, teens, and the community to learn about the dangers and consequences of Teen Dating Violence. These Information and Resources sheets were developed by the National Judicial Education Program (NJEP) with funding from the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women. “Teen Dating Violence” (TDV) is a scourge that is as epidemic, harmful, and potentially lethal as adult domestic violence. Unchecked TDV can entrench a lifetime pattern of perpetration by abusers and acceptance of abuse by victims. The Teenage Brain: New Knowledge from Neuroscience explains the science behind why teens’ brains are different than adult brains, how neuroscience affects teen behaviors, and why developmental differences between teens and adults have consequences for cases in which TDV is present.
