Abstract
The concept of minimization of penetration entails involving a youth in the juvenile justice system to the least degree necessary to effect positive behavioral changes. Various instruments have been developed to assess the potential risk to the community for youths placed on probation or some other community based supervision. These instruments are used to determine the level of supervision (high, medium or low) needed. Juvenile placed on probation must adhere to a set of probation rules (conditions). Probation officer roles pertain to providing supervision, assistance, as resource brokerage. Intensive supervision often is coupled with other types of supervision such as house arrest, family counseling, substance abuse counseling or commitment to a resident group home. The probation of a juvenile can be revoked if it is determined after a hearing in the juvenile court that the youth has violated a general or special condition of probation, or has committed a new offense.
