|---|---|
| How it's measured | Percent of all diversion terminations that were due to successful program completion |
| Data elements | 1. Case disposition type 2. Reason for diversion termination 3. Date of diversion termination |
| Frequency | Monthly |
| Desired direction | Increase in percent completions |
| Rationale for measuring this indicator | Selecting the right diversion program is a challenging decision for prosecutors. An inability to match defendants to programs results in wasted resources, increases chances of diversion failure, and does little to reduce crime rates. |
