Episode Two: Assessments 101 – The Fundamentals (ft. Gina Vincent, Ph.D.)
What is a juvenile risk assessment and a risk-need-responsivity approach? What are the benefits of using them? How can they assist us in decision making? When is the best time to assess a youth? And how can we as youth justice stakeholders, drive successful implementation? To answer these questions, host John Tuell interviews Dr. Gina Vincent* about the evidence- and research-based tools and practices that can change system-related trajectories for youth. Listen to their discussion in Episode Two: Assessments 101 – The Fundamentals!
