SUMMARY REPORT OF THE ORANGE COUNTY RISK AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE I . Risk Assessment Summary II . Needs Assessment Summary III . Resource Assessment Summary IV. Summary of Gaps and Barriers in the Community Continuum V . Proposed Priority Services for Funding Part I . Risk Assessment Summary The Orange County JCPC Risk and Needs Assessment Committee reviewed data gleaned from the Juvenile Risk Assessment instrument administered by Juvenile Court Counselors after juveniles are referred with a complaint alleging that a delinquent act has occurred and prior to adjudication of the juvenile . The Juvenile Risk Assessment is an instrument used to predict the likelihood of the juvenile being involved in future delinquent behavior . For some juveniles , some of the individual item ratings may be heavily dependent upon information reported by the juvenile or the parent( s ) . For these items (represented by an asterisk) there is a likelihood of under- reporting the incidence of a particular behavior and the actual incidence may be higher than suggested by these figures . In those cases , the figure should be interpreted as a measure of the minimum level of occurrence . Orange County Risk Factor Observations : FY 2017-2018 2 % of juveniles coming to the attention of Juvenile Services were at low risk (R1 ) for reoffending . 17 % of juveniles coming to the attention of Juvenile Services were R2 of reoffending . 36 % of juveniles coming to the attention of Juvenile Services were R3 of reoffending . 35 % of juveniles coming to the attention of Juvenile Services were R4 of reoffending . 10 % of juveniles coming to the attention of Juvenile Services were high risk (R5 ) of reoffending . NOTE: R1 =Risk Level 1 (0 points), R2 =Risk Level 2 01 - 2 points), R3 =Risk Level 3 (3 - 5 points), R4 =Risk Level 4 (642 points) and R5 =Risk Level 5 (13 + points) 13 % of juveniles were under age 12 , a decrease from FY 16 - 17 ( 16 % ) . 44 % of juveniles show having one or more prior referrals at the time of intake . 20 % of juveniles have a prior class 1 - 3 misdemeanor with 3 % having prior class f- 1 felonies or al misdemeanors/A- E Felonies .
