(b) Whether the adjudicated youth has made and agrees to continue to make restitution to the victim;

(c) Availability of safe placement for the adjudicated youth and availability of community resources to support the adjudicated youth's continued development;

(d) The threat of harm the adjudicated youth represents to self or others;

(e) The impact of the adjudicated youth's release on the victim and the community;

(f) Any applicable predictive data tools;

(g) The adjudicated youth's demonstrated development of markers of psychosocial maturity shown by research to be corroborated with desistance from crime; and

(h) Any other factors or circumstances deemed relevant by OYA based upon the individual characteristics and circumstances of the adjudicated youth.

(2) OYA must identify a written release readiness review process by OYA policy.
