(b) The system of responses shall include both sanctions and incentives that:

(i) are swift and certain;

(ii) include a continuum of community based responses for minors living at home;

(iii) target a minor's criminogenic risks and needs, as determined by the results of a validated risk and needs assessment under Section 80-6-606, and the severity of the violation; and

(4) Before referring a minor to a juvenile court for judicial review, or to the authority if the minor is under the jurisdiction of the authority, in response to a contempt filing under Section 78A-6-353 or an order to show cause, a pattern of appropriate responses shall be documented in the minor's case plan in accordance with Subsections (3)(a) and (b) .
