Abstract

Describes RAND’s validation of the San Diego Risk and Resiliency Checkup (SDRRC), an assessment tool meant to objectively measure the risk and needs of the risk and needs of juvenile probationers in Los Angeles County. A youth’s SDRRC “resiliency score” was found to be significantly related to 12-month recidivism rate. The Los Angeles Probation Department has implemented a policy to institutionalize the SDRRC, now referred to as the LARRC.
