“…IRR also has societal relevance. For example, in the Netherlands an officer of Child Protection Services (Raad voor de Kinderbescherming) assesses the recidivism risks, risk factors, and protective factors of each juvenile delinquent (Van der Put et al 2011). For the juvenile delinquent, the stakes are high because the assessment by the officer of Child Protection Services determines the district attorney's sentencing recommendation.…”

For four data sets of different measurement levels, we computed 20 coefficients that estimate interrater reliability. The results show that the coefficients provide very different numerical values when applied to the same data. We discuss possible explanations for the differences among coefficients and suggest further research that is needed to clarify which coefficient a researcher should use to estimate interrater reliability.

“…In the Netherlands, a new national set of risk and needs assessment instruments for the juvenile justice system (National Instrument for the Juvenile Criminal Justice Field [NI-JCJF]; Spanjaard et al, 2011; van der Put et al, 2011) was recently developed and implemented with the aim of referring juvenile offenders to the appropriate interventions. The NI-JCJF consists of a related set of risk and needs assessment instruments for the various parties in the juvenile justice system, including the police, the child welfare agency, the youth probation service, and youth prisons.…”

In the juvenile justice system, much attention is paid to estimating the risk for recidivism among juvenile offenders. However, it is also important to estimate the risk for problematic child-rearing situations (care needs) in juvenile offenders, because these problems are not always related to recidivism. In the present study, an actuarial care needs assessment tool for juvenile offenders, the Youth Offender Care Needs Assessment Tool (YO-CNAT), was developed to predict the probability of (a) a future supervision order imposed by the child welfare agency, (b) a future entitlement to care indicated by the youth care agency, and (c) future incidents involving child abuse, domestic violence, and/or sexual norm trespassing behavior at the juvenile's address. The YO-CNAT has been developed for use by the police and is based solely on information available in police registration systems. It is designed to assist a police officer without clinical expertise in making a quick assessment of the risk for problematic child-rearing situations. The YO-CNAT was developed on a sample of 1,955 juvenile offenders and was validated on another sample of 2,045 juvenile offenders. The predictive validity (area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve) scores ranged between .70 (for predicting future entitlement to care) and .75 (for predicting future worrisome incidents at the juvenile's address); therefore, the predictive accuracy of the test scores of the YO-CNAT was sufficient to justify its use as a screening instrument for the police in deciding to refer a juvenile offender to the youth care agency for further assessment into care needs.

“…Until recently, there were no validated risk and needs assessment instruments available in the Netherlands. Therefore, the Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice initiated the development of a new national set of risk and needs assessment instruments for the juvenile justice system (National Instrument for the Juvenile Criminal Justice Field [NI-JCJF]; Van der Put, Spanjaard, et al, 2011) with the aim of referring juvenile offenders to the appropriate interventions. One of the instruments yet to be developed of the NI-JCJF is a risk assessment instrument for the police.…”

Estimating the risk for recidivism is important for many areas of the criminal justice system. In the present study, the Youth Actuarial Risk Assessment Tool (Y-ARAT) was developed for juvenile offenders based solely on police records, with the aim to estimate the risk of general recidivism among large groups of juvenile offenders by police officers without clinical expertise. On the basis of the Y-ARAT, juvenile offenders are classified into five risk groups based on (combinations of) 10 variables including different types of incidents in which the juvenile was a suspect, total number of incidents in which the juvenile was a suspect, total number of other incidents, total number of incidents in which co-occupants at the youth's address were suspects, gender, and age at first incident. The Y-ARAT was developed on a sample of 2,501 juvenile offenders and validated on another sample of 2,499 juvenile offenders, showing moderate predictive accuracy (area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve = .73), with little variation between the construction and validation sample. The predictive accuracy of the Y-ARAT was considered sufficient to justify its use as a screening instrument for the police.
