    Summary

    The purpose of this project is to demonstrate how case planning by juvenile probation departments implements risk assessment, mental health screening, and substance abuse screening.

    The goal of the project is to increase how effective a juvenile justice jurisdiction makes case management decisions, which will result in improved allocation of resources, reduced costs, and reduced likelihood of further delinquency.
