A DISCUSSION OF THE ORIENTATION, OBJECTIVES, ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND EXPECTATIONS OF THE JUVENILE REFERRAL INFORMATION SYSTEM (JURIS), WHICH WAS DEVELOPED JOINTLY BY THE ST. LOUIS CITY AND COUNTY JUVENILE COURTS.
Abstract
JURIS IS DESIGNED TO SERVE THE ADMINISTRATIVE, JUDICIAL, AND CORRECTIONAL ACTIVITIES AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COURT. THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO AUTOMATE REPETITIVE CLERICAL OPERATIONS AND TO COLLECT, STORE, AND PRESENT ACTIVITY STATUS AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION. JURIS ALSO MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE FILES OF INFORMATION WHICH ARE COMPLETE, ACCURATE, AND RAPIDLY ACCESSIBLE. A CORRECTIONAL PROBABILITY AID MODULE COMPUTES CORRELATIONS BETWEEN A CHILD'S CHARACTERISTICS AND DELINQUENT BEHAVIOR, DELINQUENT CORRECTION TREATMENT PROGRAM SUCCESS, AND TREATMENT PROGRAM SELECTION.
