Screening Offenders: The Exploration of a Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory: (YLS/CMI) Brief Screener.

Although structured assessments have helped standardize juvenile court processes by systematically measuring risk for recidivism, it has been argued that some assessments lack the ability to perform as a brief screener.
