Court diversion program evaluation overview

The Victorian Department of Justice currently delivers a range of court-based diversionary programs aimed at breaking the cycle of re-offending. These programs provide the Victorian Magistrates’ court with a range of sentencing alternatives available at different stages of the criminal justice process. The focus of these programs is on addressing the causes of crime.

The Court Diversion Program Evaluation is an evaluation of three court-based diversionary programs aimed at a spectrum of criminal behaviours.
