Evaluation of juvenile offenders being considered for transfer to adult court entails consideration of three broad factors: (a) potential risk of dangerousness to the community, (b) level of sophistication-maturity, and (c) amenability to treatment. Despite the centrality of these constructs to the dispositional decision-making of juvenile court judges, no systematic evaluative guidelines, or instruments, are available for their assessment. The lack of guidelines and assessment technology in this area has meant that mental health professionals have either had to conduct these evaluations in a somewhat haphazard fashion, or they have utilized downward extensions of adult measures in an attempt to assess childhood and adolescent constructs. In the context of these limitations, the current article provides suggestions for how juvenile transfer evaluations might be structured. In addition, this article highlights the need for efforts to initiate systematic evaluation of juvenile offenders facing transfer. |
