The objective of Probation Services for Article 3 Juvenile Delinquency matters is to provide effective screening, assessment, case planning, client engagement, and where appropriate, evidence-based services to youth, for the non-judicial resolution of suitable complaints. The goal of these services is to address the needs of youth, reduce unnecessary reliance on detention and reduce future re-arrest/recidivism.
