JUVENILE DIVERSION: THE IMPACT OF PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY ON NET WIDENING

&
Pages 29-45 | Published online: 10 Jan 2012
 

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the relationship between a juvenile diversion program's philosophy and the program's tendency to engage in net widening. The paper presents theoretical and empirical evidence that diversion programs based on a crime control philosophy (retribution or deterrence) are less likely than treatment based diversion programs to engage in net widening. The implications of these findings for juvenile diversion program design and administration are also discussed herein.
