Needs Assessment Summary <br /> The©range County JCPC Risk and Needs Assessment Committee also reviewed data gleaned <br /> from the Juvenile Needs Assessment instrument administered by Juvenile Court Counselors prior <br /> to court disposition of a juvenile. The Juvenile Needs Assessment is an instrument used to <br /> examine juvenile needs in the various domains of his/her life: The Individual Domain,The <br /> School Domain, The Peer Domain, and the Community Domain. This instrument was designed <br /> to detect service intervention needs as an aid in service planning. As with the Juvenile Disk <br /> Assessment, some of the individual item ratings may be heavily dependent upon information <br /> reported by the juvenile or the parent(s). For these items (represented by an asterisk)there is a <br /> likelihood of under-reporting the incidence of a particular behavior and the actual incidence may <br /> be higher than suggested by these figures. In those cases,the figure should be interpreted as a <br /> measure of the minimum level of occurrence. <br /> Orange County Elevated Needs Observations: FY 2019-2020 <br /> Juveniles were low (46%), medium (45%) and high (9016) with overall needs for <br /> services/interventions to reduce the likelihood of repeat delinquency.
