Sažetak
The main aim of this paper is the determination of relations in assessment procedure for children and youth with risky behavior,
measured with different risk assessment instruments. Following instruments are analyzed: Youth Level of Service/Case Management
Inventory (YLS/CMI, Hoge, Andrews i Leschied, 2002.), Risk Factor Questionnaire (RFQ, Scholte, 1998.) and Child Behavior Checklist,
(CBCL, Achenbach, 2001.) or Teacher Report Form (TRF, Achenbach, 2001.). The research was conducted on the sample of 836
children and youth at risk or with behavior disorders who were, at the time of the research, in one of treatment programs (institutional
program, day treatment program or community treatment program). For the identifi cation of correlations between sets of variables,
queasy – canonical correlation was used. Results show that all queasy – canonical correlations are statistically signifi cant on the 1%
level of signifi cance. In each analysis (in six of them) one signifi cant queasy – canonical factor was isolated. Percentages of common
variance indicate good correlations between the instruments (values are between 45% and 67%). On general level, it is possible to
accept hypothesis about connection in risk/need assessments of children and youth at risk or with behavior disorders.
