The Washington State Risk Assessment

The risk assessment is part of a case management process initiated by the Juvenile Court Administrators of Washington State in 1997. The Juvenile Court Administrators, in collaboration with the Washington State Institute for Public Policy, developed a risk assessment tool to assist probation officers in determining the level of risk for re-offending, identifying targets for intervention, developing a case management plan, and monitoring progress in reducing risk factors.

The risk assessment measures risk in several domains, including criminal history, school, use of free time, employment, relationships, family, alcohol and drugs, mental health, attitudes, behavior, aggression, and skills. Areas that place the youth at risk to re-offend are identified, as well as the youth’s strengths. Priority goals and tasks are established with the youth’s assistance. Target dates are established and throughout community supervision, progress is monitored and goals are continually altered.
