| Felony Recidivism of Diversioners | |
|---|---|
| How it's measured | Percent of felony cases filed in which defendant terminated a diversion program within previous 12 months |
| Data elements | 1. Filing offense severity 2. Case filing decision 3. Date of previous diversion termination 4. Date of case filing |
| Frequency | Monthly |
| Desired direction | Decrease in percent of felony cases with diversioners |
| Rationale for measuring this indicator | Diversion should reduce recidivism. An increase in the percent of felony filings in which the defendant was previously diverted shows that diversion programming was ineffective or that defendants were not matched well to programs. |
