Please join us for March’s Final Fridays webinar, “Smart Strategies to Prioritize Resources & Public Safety: Prosecution Led Diversion & Deferred Prosecution Programs”, to be held on Friday, March 28th from 3:00-4:00 pm (EDT). Diverting or deferring prosecution of criminal offenders can be a smart strategy for prioritizing prosecution resources, improving public safety, and giving qualified candidates an important “second chance”. More and more prosecutors are developing a broader variety of such programs to fit the specialized needs of their offenders and their jurisdictions.
The summit will provide an opportunity for practitioners from both inside and outside the justice system, including judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, probation officials, court administrators, police, clinical staff, and non-profit organizations to learn about a range of topics, including best practices in procedural justice, risk/needs assessment, alternative sanctions, and community restitution.
