The Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory™ 2.0 (YLS/CMI™ 2.0) is a gender-informed, culturally-informed, strengths-focused risk/needs tool that reliably and accurately classifies and predicts re-offending within male and female juvenile populations.
The YLS/CMI 2.0 includes new features to address the needs of a growing adolescent offender population:
- Expanded age range—12 to 18 years
- S. norms by gender and setting
- Large U.S. sample of 12,798 juveniles
- Significant minority representation in normative sample
- Updated current literature review
- Improved definitions for non-criminogenic factors
- Guidelines that instruct users to consider gender-specific factors, as well as the importance of minor risk/need factors and non-criminogenic needs
- Assessment items that address gender-informed responsivity factors, such as pregnancy/motherhood issues and physical/sexual victimization issues
- Assessment items that address culturally-informed responsivity factors
In addition, the YLS/CMI 2.0 provides an opportunity for users to evaluate positive justice-involved individual attributes so that justice-involved individual strengths may be highlighted and built upon in service delivery.

Profile Reports summarize the results of an individual administration, providing scores for all scales.
Comparative Reports show progress over time, comparing up to four assessments for the same justice-involved individual. They are free with the purchase of Profile Reports.
Follow-Up Reports are used to document major events for the justice-involved individual such as reoffending or successful completion of treatment/supervision.
The YLS/CMI™ 2.0 demonstrates strong reliability and validity, including accurate prediction of reoffending.
The normative sample for the YLS/CMI 2.0 consists of over 12,798 justice-involved youth.
To administer the YLS/CMI training is required for those who do not have the requisite b-level educational qualifications. Training is also recommended for those who need in-depth knowledge of the YLS/CMI and its use and interpretation. By attending our YLS/CMI User Training, you will learn necessary skills for interviewing a justice-involved youth, accurately scoring an YLS/CMI assessment, as well as enhancing the quality of case management, treatment planning, and service delivery.
