Youth Justice Transformation in Action

Assessments 101 - The Fundamentals (ft. Gina Vincent, Ph.D.)

RFK National Resource Center for Juvenile Justice (rfknrcjj.org) Season 1 Episode 2

What is a juvenile risk assessment and a risk-need-responsivity approach? What are the benefits of using them? How can they assist us in decision making? When is the best time to assess a youth? And how can we as youth justice stakeholders, drive successful implementation? To answer these questions, host John Tuell interviews Dr. Gina Vincent, Associate Professor and Co-Director of the Law and Psychiatry Program, University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMASS); and President of the National Youth Screening and Assessment Partners (NYSAP), about the evidence- and research-based tools and practices that can change the system-related trajectories for youth.
