| Abstract: |
The juvenile diversion program examined in this study consisted of 32 State of Colorado programs that provided intervention to juvenile offenders. This study was conducted to explore three aspects of juvenile system diversion programs: the types of interventions assigned to juveniles in diversion programs, the characteristics and legal background of the juveniles in each intervention, and the program outcomes. This data consisted of a sample of 5865 juvenile offenders who participated in system diversion programs during the fiscal year 1995-1996. Both univariate and multivariate procedures were applied. The results identified unique patterns of intervention assignment. The results also suggested that client characteristics, especially arrest history, were more relevant to program outcome than the presence or absence of an intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
