Which program addresses juveniles who are at risk or noncompliant, such as dropouts or truancy?

• A. CHIPS
• B. JIPS
• C. Delinquency
• D. TRO

Answer: (B)

The program that addresses juveniles who are at risk or noncompliant, such as dropouts or truancy, is Juvenile Intake and Probation Services. This program handles the initial intake, screening, and ongoing supervision or probation for youths referred to the juvenile system. It focuses on youths who are at risk of delinquency or who fail to comply with court orders, providing assessment, referrals to services, and supervision to help keep them on a constructive path and prevent deeper involvement with the justice system.

CHIPS covers children in need of protection or services due to abuse or neglect, not at-risk behavior like truancy. Delinquency is a category of offenses, not a program. TRO refers to a temporary restraining order, a legal remedy rather than a program for handling juveniles.
