NOTE:  References in the grid to days or weeks mean periods of confinement.

     (1) The vertical axis of the grid is the current offense category.  The current offense category is determined by the offense of adjudication.

     (2) The horizontal axis of the grid is the number of prior adjudications included in the juvenile's criminal history.  Each prior felony adjudication shall count as one point.  Each prior violation, misdemeanor, and gross misdemeanor adjudication shall count as 1/4 point.  Fractional points shall be rounded down.

     (3) The standard range disposition for each offense is determined by the intersection of the column defined by the prior adjudications and the row defined by the current offense category.

     (4) RCW 13.40.180 applies if the offender is being sentenced for more than one offense.

     (5) A current offense that is a violation is equivalent to an offense category of E.  However, a disposition for a violation shall not include confinement.

 

                                OR

 

                             OPTION B

            CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY DISPOSITION ALTERNATIVE

                                OR

 

                             OPTION C

                        MANIFEST INJUSTICE

 

If the court determines that a disposition under option A or B would effectuate a manifest injustice, the court shall impose a disposition outside the standard range under RCW 13.40.160(2).
