Description
The five Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods have established a joint Juvenile Diversion Program through the district court with the assistance of CARE of Macomb County. The Juvenile Diversion Program is a voluntary, confidential alternative to the formal court process for juveniles. The program makes it possible for offenders to take responsibility for their unlawful actions and make restitution to their victims and the community. Once approved, fulfilling a Diversion contract results in the dismissal of charges, and has been shown to deter further unlawful behavior. A vast majority of the people who complete the program do not re-offend. The program also is cost effective because it takes less time and money to process a case through the Diversion Program than through the court system. Harper Woods and the five Grosse Pointes chose to fund this program so it is free to participants, but it is also possible to pass the program charges (which are much lower than going through the traditional court system) to the offender. Either method provides efficiency in the court system by reducing case loads, and if passed onto the offender, costs as well.
Savings:
Approximately $30,000 in costs saving from cost of incarceration.
