Since November 1999, the Youth Violence Reduction Partnership (YVRP) has identified 100 youth in the 12th, 19th, 22nd, 24th, 25th, and 39th Police Districts most at risk of either committing or becoming a victim of violent crime and has referred them and their families for clinical evaluation and behavioral health services. Through the joint efforts of Police, probation officers and street workers, the youth are linked to community supports while there is an expedited judicial process for those who violate the terms of their probation. Those youth and families with a history of substance abuse are referred by probation officers to the Clinical Evaluation Unit. The evaluator clinically determines the level of care, specific treatment program, and facilitates authorization from the funding source. All Youth Partners who are referred to substance abuse treatment are provided with case management services.
