14. CHALLENGES FACED BY THE COURT Inability to make meaningful assessments of need and risks at case initiation. Inability to adequately supervise youth both pre-adjudication and post-adjudication. Inadequate community-based resources to support court- involved youth and families.

15. SUGGESTIONS FROM THE BENCH Develop interventions that target High Risk Youth. Supplement probation services (currently provided by Louisiana Office of Juvenile Justice) preferably within the community. Provide method for needs-based assessment at initiation of case. Divert Low-Risk Youth away from conventional judicial proceedings.
