A Practitioner’s Guide to Evaluating Prosecutor-Led Diversion Programs
This guide provides an overview of the key data elements, types of study designs, and the questions to consider when assessing and documenting prosecutor-led diversion program efficacy. Agencies can use the findings from well-designed, rigorous evaluation endeavors to inform major decisions like program operations and how to improve services.
