The mission of the Department of Youth Services identifies public safey and youth accountablilty, both of which are goals of placing a youth offender in detention. We look at ORS 419C.145 as the basis for lodging a youth in detention. There are two circumstances a youth may be placed in detention, pre-adjudication, or as a sanction of a probation violation.
Factors in Determining the use of Detention
- The safey of the community, and the safety of the youth in each situation.
- If any other forms of sactioning would be appropriate such as: electronic monitoring, house arrest, other placement, time-out shelter.
- The victim’s condition, level of violence used in the crime, and the relationship between the youth offender and the victim.
- An option for conditional release with sensitivity for the victim and community safety.
