Delinquent Behavior—High Risk Behavioral Assessment

Delinquency

Delinquent behavior—high risk behavioral assessment is a process used to identify and assess individuals who are at risk of engaging in delinquent behavior. This assessment is typically conducted by a mental health professional, such as a psychologist or social worker, and includes a comprehensive evaluation of the individual’s social, psychological, and environmental factors that may be contributing to their risk of delinquency. The assessment typically includes interviews with the individual, their family, and/or other individuals who may have knowledge of the individual’s behavior. It also includes a review of the individual’s past behavior and any relevant records, such as school records or police reports. The assessment also looks at the individual’s current behavior and any potential risk factors that may be contributing to their risk of delinquency. The assessment is used to identify the individual’s needs, develop an appropriate intervention plan, and monitor the individual’s progress. The goal of the assessment is to reduce the individual’s risk of engaging in delinquent behavior and to help them develop positive coping skills and behaviors.

The number of “A” items to which the respondent answered “yes” are summed. Then for those respondents who scored at least 1‚ the frequency is calculated by averaging the answers for the “B” items (How often?).
Point values are assigned as follows:
Rarely = 1
Occasionally = 2
Regularly = 3
A high score indicates a high level of risky school behavior
