Juvenile Diversion



General Information A.R.T.T. Program

When a kid commits a crime and lands in the criminal justice system, you have to wonder why it happened. And, you have to wonder if there is something that could be done to help that young person stay out of more trouble.

The Juvenile Diversion Program works with eligible first-time juvenile offenders as an alternative to formal court proceedings. These young people are referred to as clients, and participate in Diversion with their parent or guardian. Diversion programs focus on teaching skills and providing opportunities to practice those skills. Clients are assigned to programs based on their need, must perform a minimum of 30 hours of community service, and complete restitution. See General Information by clicking above.


Thankyou utrans for the clarification - Marva you will find oodles of information on these programs from different states .

disagree  utrans: The term "diversion" is used for programs like Drug Court, Deferred Prosecution, etc., offered to first offenders usually for misdemeanor cases. If the offender successfully completes the program the charge is dismissed.

agree  xxxjmf: I like desviación. Note that the English term is not readily understandable to most natives without the definition, hopefully the text provides you with an opportunity to clarify the meaning in your translation.
