Abstract
This paper presents a study oriented to analyze the utility of a scale in the prediction of juvenile offenders’ recidivism. It was carried out a longitudinal study in a sample of 258 juvenile offenders that were serving a educative measure imposed by a juvenile court. The selected instrument was the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory, adapted to spanish with the tittle of Inventario de Gestión en Intervención para Jóvenes (IGI-J). The recidivist juvenile offenders showed a higher score than the non-recidivist, but the inventory failed in order to predict with accuracy the subjects that committed a new offence after two years of follow-up. It is analyzed the possible causes of this result, as well as the contribution of the IGI-J in the context of the risk assessment in juvenile justice and in the elaboration of programs of intervention
