This study explored the potential for the original 42-item Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) risk assessment to perform as a brief screener for a sample of first-time juvenile offenders in a mid-western, industrialized county. Results indicated that the original and shortened version of the YLS/CMI significantly predicted two-year recidivism for male and female offenders. Implications for situationally targeted forms of risk assessment are discussed.}, issn = {1050-9674}, doi = {10.1080/10509674.2013.861314}, author = {Campbell, Christina and Onifade, Eyitayo and Barnes, Ashlee and Peterson, Jodi and Anderson, Valerie and Davidson, William and Gordon, Derrick} }
