The Young Offenders Process (YOP) is a diversion program for arrested children under 12 years of age. Once the child is identified as a potential candidate for this program an age and gender appropriate psychosocial assessment is completed on the child. Based on the client and family interviews, the arrest charge, and school records, sanctions and services are put into place for the youth and family, often to include counseling and community service for the youth. The family will receive case-management services for approximately 3-6 months. This program which includes all arrested youth in this age group is currently being expanded to include the at risk population.
