The Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (ADJC), in partnership with LeCroy Milligan and Associates has developed a tool called the Recidivism Risk Instrument (RRI) to assess a juvenile’s risk to re-offend.

The CAPFA is used for all juveniles committed to the ADJC, and consists of 12 domains and over 180 measures.
