The Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory-Screening Version (YLS/CMI-SV) is designed to provide a preliminary estimate of the level of risk for antisocial behaviors as well as an indication of areas for intervention in youth offenders. This study examined the predictive validity of the YLS/CMI-SV for violent, nonviolent, and general recidivism in a sample of 3,264 youth offenders within a Singaporean context ( = 1,764.5 days; = 521.5). Cox regression and Receiver Operating Characteristic analyses revealed that the YLS/CMI-SV is significantly predictive of general, violent, and nonviolent recidivism for the male youth offenders, but there were mixed results for the female youth offenders. Overall, these results indicated that the YLS/CMI-SV is a useful measure for assessing the levels of risk for male youth offenders, and more investigation is needed to determine the suitability of the YLS/CMI-SV for the female youth offenders. Its implications for clinical practice and policy are discussed.
青少年服务/个案管理量表筛查版（YLS/CMI-SV）旨在对青少年犯罪者的反社会行为风险水平进行初步评估，并指出干预领域。本研究在新加坡背景下，对3264名青少年犯罪者的样本（平均随访时间=1764.5天；标准差=521.5），考察了YLS/CMI-SV对暴力、非暴力及一般累犯的预测效度。Cox回归和受试者工作特征分析表明，YLS/CMI-SV对男性青少年犯罪者的一般、暴力和非暴力累犯具有显著预测性，但对女性青少年犯罪者的结果不一。总体而言，这些结果表明YLS/CMI-SV是评估男性青少年犯罪者风险水平的有用指标，需要更多研究来确定YLS/CMI-SV对女性青少年犯罪者的适用性。文中还讨论了其对临床实践和政策的影响。
