De nombreuses recherches et études dans les domaines du droit et de la psychologie ont été publiées sur des sujets liés à la justice adaptée aux enfants, notamment sur la situation des enfants victimes. Alors qu’on a sans aucun doute besoin de plus de recherches, particulièrement sur la justice des mineurs et les contextes de tribunaux civils, un intérêt pour la comparaison des pratiques de justice adaptée aux enfants à travers les juridictions a récemment émergé et promet dans le monde entier des développements futurs dans ce domaine.
