when the illegal action was compelled, or when the action was uncalled-for. Another point that Steinberg and Scott present support for is that young people should not be held to the equivalent measures of criminal accountability as adults, since juveniles' ability to have good judgement is minimized, they are less apt to withstand forcible influence, and their personality is still going through development.
