What is Diversion?
"Diversion" refers to the process of managing juvenile cases through non-court processes. It helps low-risk juveniles who are unlikely to re-offend avoid the stigma and stress that can result from delinquency adjudication. Diversion provides opportunities for community partners and victims to take more active roles in the management of low-risk juvenile offenders. Diversion processes reduce burdens on the court system, which otherwise would find it impossible to adjudicate every offender referred to it. Diversion also is considerably less expensive and faster than the formal court processes. Diversion reduces probation caseloads as well, enabling the division to better allocate resources to more serious offenders.
