28. From Risk and Needs to Current Practices One of the most significant legislative changes made this past session was the mandatory closing of many Level III and IV mental health youth group homes. According to a survey done through the Court Services Division of DJJDP, there are a potential 500+ youth that will need an alternative, long- term, residential placement. Court Counselors are already working hard through Child and Family Support Teams to try and find immediate, appropriate placement options.

Does not include unsupervised probation, as it is not a service; also does not include detention. Because it was not possible to separate out the proportion of offenders receiving community service or restitution, this category has not been counted. Does not include post-release services because this would double count services. The juvenile calculation excludes persons transferred to the adult system. ** It is unclear whether these persons ultimately were prosecuted; therefore, deferred prosecution is calculated as an additional cost and not a population pathway. If these persons were prosecuted, they would be included in the adjudication population; if they were not, they would be included in the dismissal pathway.
