Because the demand for rehabilitative is greater than resources allow, efforts are underway to predict who is a high risk for recidivism so that services may be focused on these juveniles, while reducing efforts to those who are low-risk. In addition, statistical risk prediction is intended to infuse the decision-making process with greater equity and objectivity because the same factors are considered for every juvenile. This article describes the use of statistical risk prediction for first-time juvenile offenders. Suggestions for implementation are provided based on lessons learned from this research.  c[S.l.]d2002pp. 71-81tResearch on Social Work Practice vNº 12x15527581  aJUSTIÇA JUVENIL  aDELINQUÊNCIA JUVENIL  aREINCIDÊNCIA  aESTATÍSTICAS  a343.121.5  aKrysikbJudy   4070aLeCroybCraig Winston   aPTgRPC  j343.121.5KRY
