The document, Safe and Effective Intervention and Management Approaches for Juvenile Sex Offenders and Youth with Sexually Abusive Behavior, represents a set of draft program standards focusing on:

* Assessment;
* Treatment;
* Supervision, Transition and Re-entry; and,
* Service Provider Qualifications.

The draft standards reflect a continuum of juvenile justice and clinically-based responses and interventions emphasizing community safety and victim awareness. The document represents more than standards for care and services; these draft program standards represent a philosophy about the way legal sanctions, monitoring strategies, and specialized treatment programs are structured, organized and delivered.
