The YLS/CMI (Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory) is a specialized instrument specifically designed for assessing and classifying juvenile offenders. It takes into account both criminogenic risk factors and protective factors to provide a comprehensive picture of the juvenile's needs and likelihood of re-offending. The LSI-R (Level of Service Inventory-Revised) and LSI (Level of Service Inventory) are also commonly used for offender classification, but they are not specifically designed for juveniles. The DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition) is a diagnostic manual for mental health professionals and is not typically used for offender classification.
