Caucasian. A more detailed view of the race of children referred and assessed by juvenile probation appears below. Table 1 RACE OF CHILDREN REFERRED AND ASSESSED USING THE JAG ASSESSMENT TOOL Gender African Hispanic Caucasian American Boys 215 218 366 Girls 145 187 279 Total 360 405 645 Diagram 3 shows percentages by Race/Ethnicity. DIAGRAM 3 Race/Ethnicity of All Assessed FWSN Juveniles asian unknown 0% 2% black 25% white 45% hispanic 28% 91
Most of the assessed children scored in the medium to high risk range for the five risk factors. For boys, 42% were medium and 38% were high. For girls, 42% were medium and 39% were high. The JAG results show that risk factors vary by gender. In one example, a cross sectional analysis of risk factors of assessed children in the New Haven court showed that the boys exhibited the highest risk factor associated with “peer/stake-in-conformity” and girls exhibited the highest risk factor associated with “distress in family.” Diagram 4 Gender Differences for Assessed Children referred to New Haven Juvenile Matters* 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 New Haven Boys New Haven Girls AD C CH EP F AD= Substance Abuse/Alcohol and Drugs; C=Peer/Stake in Conformity; CH=Criminal History; EP = Personal Values; F=Distress in Family The Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument Second Version (MAYSI-2) is another assessment tool used by juvenile probation officers to screen children for indicators of behavioral health. The MAYSI-2 is administered to FWSN children by juvenile probation based on criteria established by CSSD. 92
