Resource Assessment Summary <br /> IV. Summary of Gaps and Barriers in the Community Continuum <br /> V. Proposed Priority Services for Funding <br /> Part I. Risk Assessment Summary <br /> The Orange County JCPC Risk and Needs Assessment Committee reviewed data gleaned from <br /> the Juvenile Risk Assessment instrument administered by Juvenile Court Counselors after <br /> juveniles are referred with a complaint alleging that a delinquent act has occurred and prior to <br /> adjudication of the juvenile. The Juvenile Risk Assessment is an instrument used to predict the <br /> likelihood of the juvenile being involved in future delinquent behavior. For some juveniles, <br /> some of the individual item ratings may be heavily dependent upon information reported by the <br /> juvenile or the parent(s). For these items (represented by an asterisk)there is a likelihood of <br /> under-reporting the incidence of a particular behavior and the actual incidence may be higher <br /> than suggested by these figures. In those cases, the figure should be interpreted as a measure of <br /> the minimum level of occurrence. <br /> Orange County Risk Factor Observations: FY 2017-2018 <br /> 2% of juveniles coming to the attention of Juvenile Services were at low risk (R1) for <br /> reoffending. <br /> 17% of juveniles coming to the attention of Juvenile Services were R2 of reoffending. <br /> 36% of juveniles coming to the attention of Juvenile Services were R3 of reoffending. <br /> 35% of juveniles coming to the attention of Juvenile Services were R4 of reoffending. <br /> 10% of juveniles coming to the attention of Juvenile Services were high risk(R5) of reoffending. <br /> NOTE: RI=Risk Level 1 (0 points), R2=Risk Level 2 01-2 points), R3=Risk Level 3 (3-5 points), <br /> R4=Risk Level 4 (6-12 points) and R5=Risk Level 5(13+points) <br /> 13% of juveniles were under age 12, a decrease from FY 16-17 (16%). <br /> 44% of juveniles show having one or more prior referrals at the time of intake. <br /> 20% of juveniles have a prior class 1-3 misdemeanor with 3%having prior class f-1 felonies or <br /> al misdemeanors/A-E Felonies. <br />
