Building Differentiated Diversion: Choosing the Right Programs for Different Needs

Prosecutors and agencies face a constant balancing act: managing growing caseloads while ensuring justice is delivered fairly and effectively. Diversion programs offer an alternative to traditional prosecution, reducing backlogs and promoting rehabilitation. But the reality is that no single program fits all participants. Additionally, running multiple programs at scale can quickly become overwhelming without the right systems in place.

That’s where Diversion Manager comes in, giving agencies the flexibility to manage a variety of diversion programs efficiently, all within a single platform.

The Challenge of Multiple Programs

Traditional diversion administration often struggles with complexity. Each program, whether focused on impaired driving, theft, parenting neglect, or financial crimes, comes with its own eligibility rules, requirements, and timelines.

Without a centralized system, agencies risk:

• Participants being placed in the wrong programs

• Increased administrative workload and errors

• Missed deadlines and incomplete cases

• Inefficient use of valuable community resources

To truly reduce recidivism, agencies need a way to scale programs without sacrificing quality or oversight.

Tailored Programs, Managed in One Place

Diversion Manager solves this by bringing all diversion programs into a single, unified digital platform. Prosecutors and agencies can:

• Streamline participant screening to ensure individuals are matched to the right program based on their offense and needs.

• Customize program conditions to reflect statutory requirements or office priorities.

• Track progress in real time, with automated reminders, document uploads, and easy case management.

• Run multiple program types concurrently, without duplicating work or losing oversight.

This means an impaired driving case, a theft case, and a parenting-related case can all be managed seamlessly side by side, each with its own tailored interventions.

Flexibility that Adapts to Communities

Every jurisdiction has unique needs. Diversion Manager is built to adapt, whether an agency wants to:

• Offer parenting classes for family-related offenses

• Require community service for theft and property crimes

• Provide drug and alcohol counseling for impaired driving

• Incorporate restitution payments for financial crimes

Instead of forcing a uniform process, agencies can design programs that fit their communities while maintaining fairness and accountability.

Data-Driven Insights Across Programs

Managing multiple programs isn’t just about administration; it’s also about outcomes. Diversion Manager provides analytics that allow agencies to:

• Measure completion rates across different programs

• Compare recidivism outcomes by offense type

• Allocate resources where they have the greatest impact

• Share clear, evidence-backed reports with stakeholders

This data-driven approach helps agencies continuously refine their programs and demonstrate success to the public.

Smarter diversion leads to stronger outcomes. With Diversion Manager, prosecutors and agencies can manage multiple programs with ease, match participants to the right interventions, and deliver measurable results that build trust and reduce recidivism.
