Issues and Realities in Police Diversion Programs

A 1976 appraisal of police diversion programs for juvenile offenders is used to update a series of diversion issues first specified in 1971. In addition, new issues which have emerged from practical experience with diversion programs are suggested. Both the updated issues and the emergent issues suggest that police involvement in diversion, while it has increased at a very rapid rate, has been so tentative and exploratory that a withdrawal would not be difficult. The absence of objective impact data and the lack of commitment to evaluation are cited as major deficiences.
