Scenario: You are a probation officer writing up recommendations for two juvenile offenders. Maria is a 17-year-old pregnant female who was arrested with her boyfriend for car theft and high-speed pursuit. Matt, Maria's fiancé, is 17 years old and is the father of the baby. Matt and Maria stole the vehicle because neither of them have a job, but needed to find a way to get to job interviews. You
have two choices for placement and neither one allows both of the juveniles to be there together. Your choices are Project CRAFT and SafeFutures, Which one would be the best place for Matt?
What will be an ideal response?
The best place for Matt would be Project CRAFT.
• Maria is pregnant and therefore would not be a good fit for learning construction trades at Project CRAFT.
• Matt is soon to be a father and needs a job.
He would benefit by learning a trade so he can support his family.
