The Alameda County Probation Department was awarded a grant from the National Institute of Justice in 1998 to develop a risk assessment for probation placement cases. The project was a follow-up to a process that began in 1996 when the Department contracted with the National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD) to construct a five-year plan to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their Juvenile Services Division. NCCD was instrumental in developing the planning approach for graduated sanctions for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Preventions Comprehensive Strategy for Serious, Violent, and Chronic Juvenile Offenders.In August of 1996, the Department adopted this strategy as its official governing policy for all system design and policy decisions. Part of this plan was to develop a risk assessment instrument for placement of adjudicated juveniles. The goal of the project was to implement a system-wide classification and placement system that would address the public concern for safety and effectiveness in dealing with juvenile crime. / Supplementary Notes: See also Final Report, PB2007-109690.
