Abstract

The goal of this study was to identify distinct and meaningful profiles of the seven criminogenic risk and need domains included on the Ohio Youth Assessment System—Disposition Tool (OYAS-DIS). This goal was accomplished by conducting a latent profile analysis (LPA) on a sample of 4,383 formally processed justice-involved youth assessed by the OYAS-DIS. The LPA determined there were six distinct profiles: (1) Low risk and need, (2) Low/moderate risk and need, (3) Low risk/need with high juvenile justice history, (4) Academic, mental health, and substance use needs, (5) Prosocial skills and decision making, and (6) High risk and need. Results may help juvenile justice practitioners to identify and address specific intervention needs of adjudicated youth.

概况分析和风险评估:识别风险和需求的不同模式

这项研究的目的是确定俄亥俄州青少年评估系统——处置工具（OYAS-DIS）中七个犯罪风险和需求领域的不同和有意义的特征。这一目标是通过对OYAS-DIS评估的4383名正式处理的司法参与青年样本进行潜在概况分析（LPA）来实现的。LPA确定有六种不同的情况：（1）低风险和需求，（2）低/中等风险和需求；（3）有高青少年司法史的低风险/需求；（4）学术、心理健康和药物使用需求；（5）亲社会技能和决策；（6）高风险和需求。研究结果可能有助于青少年司法从业者确定和解决被裁决青少年的具体干预需求。
