(a) the offender, if released, would pose a serious identifiable risk to the safety of the community and the risk cannot be sufficiently mitigated by directions from a juvenile justice officer or by changing the conditions of parole, or

(b) the offender, if released, would pose a serious and immediate risk to the offender’s safety and the risk cannot be sufficiently mitigated by directions from a juvenile justice officer or by changing the conditions of parole, or

(c) the offender has requested the revocation, or
