This volume is the result of an EU project involving two different
European countries (Italy and Cyprus) on risk and needs assessment
for juvenile violent offenders. The book is based on a longitudinal
data base of juveniles who have committed violent crimes and who
have been followed up after six months to measure their recidivism
rate. The aim of this book is to provide practitioners who are
dealing with juvenile (violent) offenders, with
scientifically-based theories and knowledge derived from results
about risk assessment. In particular it shows how a newly developed
and tested instrument/approach, the EARN (European Assessment of
Risk and Needs) works and how it can be used to help practitioners.
Recidivism of violence in juveniles is based on several risk
factors and is reduced on the basis of protective factors.
Efficient legal intervention and treatment are more and more
tailored according to the risk factors but also to the needs of
juveniles. Juvenile Justice Systems in Europe tend to approach the
juvenile who has committed a crime not only from a sanction point
of view but more as an opportunity for the juvenile, his or her
family and the social context in general, to reduce the risk of
recidivism. This book will be of interest to researchers, students,
social workers, police officers and lawyers.
