An assessment tool designed to measure a juvenile’s risk of offending and related needs is the Youth Level of Service/Case.

Option b

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a tool designed to assess and estimate antisocial behavior and provide intervention in juvenile delinquency. The tool examines non-violence, violence and the ability of the offender to re-offend (recidivism). Questions used during the test/experiment seek to understand the test subject’s personal life.

Family life/circumstances, education or employment, current or prior offences and many more get investigated. The process is conducted in this way because it is believed that juvenile delinquency is a social issue which requires investigation in order to administer proper treatment.
