Summary Statement
Youth who are new to Delaware's Juvenile Justice System are guided through a bifurcated/non-bifurcated sentencing process. The assessors are responsible for completing a risk/needs assessment for adjudicated delinquent youth and those awaiting sentencing. Additionally, they conduct youth/family interviews, verify collateral information, prepare a written report, and testify to relevant items in court. This process is a testament to our commitment to ensuring youth are connected to services, supports, and programs based on their risk of re-offending and identified needs. The ultimate goal is to foster positive outcomes for youth and families through appropriate interventions.
