In 2000, the Colorado General Assembly amended and passed legislation that required the Sex Offender Management Board to develop and implement methods of intervention for juvenile sex offenders, recognizing the need for standards and guidelines specific to these youth. These standards hold the physical and psychological safety of victims and potential victims as priority. These standards are required for juveniles who are placed on probation or parole, committed to the State department of human services, placed in the custody of the county department of human services, or those in out-of-home placement for sexual offending or abusive behavior. Juveniles who have received deferred adjudications and those whose charges include an underlying factual basis of a sexual offense are also subject to these standards. It is recommended that these standards and guidelines be utilized with juveniles and families who are seeking intervention regarding sexually abusive behavior that has been disclosed through self-report or evaluation. An overarching objective of these standards is to empower the multidisciplinary team (MDT) to have discretionary influence over the course of treatment and management within the limitations of these standards. This discretionary influence is vital to properly apply these standards to the wide range of developmental and case specific considerations. Appendixes and index
