In response to a request by the Administrator of the Division of Youth Services, an organizational assessment of the Office of Juvenile Offender Review (OJOR) was undertaken.
Abstract
The purpose of the review was to identify organizational issues and make recommendations to assist the OJOR to better meet its program goals and legislative responsibilities. This report provides background information and a description of the OJOR's organizational structure and current staffing. An overview of the extent to which the current administrative process facilitates OJOR's attainment of organizational goals is presented and includes informational needs and criteria for decision-making. Recommendations for improvement follow each section of the report. The report notes that the study did not include a review of the overall juvenile justice system or of how case planning and release functions might be performed differently.
