Abstract:

This research adopts a ‘philosophy of technology’ approach to critically evaluate the actuarial risk management instrument used in Youth Justice, New South Wales in Australia. Specifically, it analyses the function, capacity, and limitations of the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) in managing young people. The case study methodology of this analysis follows the introduction of this actuarial risk assessment instrument since its inception in 2002 up until 2022. It seeks to grasp how this instrument regulates the case management of young people sentenced in the Children’s Court and how its usage has impacted on youth diversion programs.
