This paper reports data from the normative study of the Portuguese version of the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI), risk assessment tool designed to assess risk for general recidivism, identify criminogenic needs and guide case management of young offenders. Normative data of Portuguese YLS/CMI were established from a sample of 2363 young offenders from juvenile justice system. Risk profiles analysis allows to differentiate young offenders by gender, procedural phase, criminal behavior and sociocultural context. Implications regarding these results for assessment and case management of young offenders in the forensic area are discussed.

Keywords : Risk assessment; Criminogenic needs; YLS/CMI; Young offender; Normative data.
