Juvenile justice systems have increasingly embraced the adoption of risk assessment tools (Barnoski, 2004; Campbell, Schmidt, &amp; Wershler, 2016) in order to improve outcomes for youth and families. However, the development and validation of amount of instruments have been constrained to just a small number of contributors, and instruments are repeatedly implemented <em>off-the-shelf <\/em>in jurisdictions other than where the instruments were created (Hamilton et al., 2016a). Presently, it is estimated that 35 juvenile risk assessments are in use in the U.S (OJJDP, 2010) and over 86 percent juvenile justice agencies\u2019 employ strategies that involve the use of actuarial assessments of risk (Schwalbe, 2009). As the field of juvenile justice continues to advance assessment efforts, it has been recognized that the predominant use of assessments to date has been the implementation of standard <em>off-the-shelf <\/em>instruments developed on a single offender sample, yet subsequently used for prediction on populations and jurisdictions in which the instrument was not designed to serve. In recent years, there has been increased awareness among researchers and practitioners alike that a <em>one-size-fits-all <\/em>approach to risk management may not optimally capture risk when applied across multiple differing jurisdictions (Wilson &amp; Gutierrez, 2014). For instance, prior analyses of the Washington State derived Positive Achievement Change Tool (PACT) and the Iowa Delinquency Assessment (IDA) have identified sources of substantial variations in predictive accuracy (Barnoski, 2012; Hamilton &amp; van Wormer, 2015). Identified variations were suspected to be due to methodological and jurisdictional differences. We contend that, if isolated and assessed, instrument variations have the ability to further improve recidivism prediction, when elements such as item selection, weighting, gender specificity, and outcomes specific modeling are optimized for a given jurisdiction. The PACT was originally developed for the Washington State Juvenile Court Administrators (WSJCA) and was designed to serve the population of probation youth in Washington State. It has since been adopted by many states, is delivered under several names (i.e. Back on Track [BOT], IDA, Oregon Risk Need Assessment [RNA], Utah Protective and Risk Assessment [PRA], and the Youth Assessment and Screening Instrument [YASI]), representing one of the most prominent juvenile risk-need assessment instruments in use today (currently used in 19 states and parts of Canada). However, like many other tools it is applied as an off-the-shelf package and its application and weighting is not designed to vary by the state or jurisdiction implemented.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_254\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-254\" style=\"width: 346px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2014\/12\/Hamilton_2013.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-254\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2014\/12\/Hamilton_2013-396x705.jpg\" alt=\"Zach Hamilton at the door of the Department of Criminal Justice &amp; Criminology.\" width=\"346\" height=\"616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2014\/12\/Hamilton_2013-396x705.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2014\/12\/Hamilton_2013-792x1410.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2014\/12\/Hamilton_2013-990x1762.jpg 990w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2014\/12\/Hamilton_2013-1188x2115.jpg 1188w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2014\/12\/Hamilton_2013.jpg 1456w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 346px) 100vw, 346px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-254\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr. Zachary Hamilton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #993300\">Sisouvanh Keopanapay, Undergraduate Advisor &#8211;<\/span> <\/strong><span style=\"color: #333333\">ACADA Professional Development Stipend Award from Washington State University<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1891\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1891\" style=\"width: 559px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2018\/05\/Award-Ceremony-Sis-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-1891\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2018\/05\/Award-Ceremony-Sis-1-396x598.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"559\" height=\"844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2018\/05\/Award-Ceremony-Sis-1-396x598.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2018\/05\/Award-Ceremony-Sis-1-768x1160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2018\/05\/Award-Ceremony-Sis-1-792x1196.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2018\/05\/Award-Ceremony-Sis-1-990x1495.jpg 990w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2018\/05\/Award-Ceremony-Sis-1-1188x1794.jpg 1188w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1891\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sisouvanh Keopanapay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #993300\"><strong>Faith Lutze, Professor &#8211;<\/strong> <\/span><span style=\"color: #333333\">President, Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (<\/span><span style=\"color: #333333\">ACJS)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1559\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1559\" style=\"width: 659px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2018\/03\/Lutze_-ACJS-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1559 \" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2018\/03\/Lutze_-ACJS-1-396x297.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"659\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2018\/03\/Lutze_-ACJS-1-396x297.jpg 396w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2018\/03\/Lutze_-ACJS-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2018\/03\/Lutze_-ACJS-1-792x594.jpg 792w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/wp-cas\/uploads\/sites\/3207\/2018\/03\/Lutze_-ACJS-1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 659px) 100vw, 659px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1559\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #333333\">Outgoing ACJS president Nicole Leeper passes the gavel to incoming president Faith Lutze.
