“…In their analysis of 152 juvenile defendants, Viljoen, Zapf, and Roesch (2007) found a clear link between age and impaired Miranda comprehension: 11-13 years (58.0% impaired), 14-15 years (33.3% impaired), and 16-17 years (7.8% impaired). This relation of age to impaired Miranda comprehension has been clearly established in both offender (Colwell et al, 2005;Riggs-Romaine, 2008) and community (McLachlan, Roesch, & Douglas, 2010;Woolard, Cleary, Harvell, & Chen, 2008) samples. Closely aligned with age, maturity also plays an important role in Miranda comprehension (Cauffman & Steinberg, 2000).…”
