Prosecutor-Led Diversion Programs and Recidivism: Evidence from Two Indiana Jurisdictions
2026-09-17 12:00 - 13:00
Diversion is widely used by prosecutors as an alternative to traditional prosecution. But who actually gets the opportunity to participate?
Dr. Tri Keah Henry presents findings from two Indiana prosecutor-led diversion programs. The study found that diversion participation was associated with a reduced probability of a new criminal case filing one year after the initial case filing.
The research also examines the discretionary selection processes that shape participation, raising important questions about equitable access to diversion and the reliability of previously reported findings.
