Juveniles
Junvenile Diversion Initiative (JDI)
The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office Juvenile Diversion Initiative (DA-JDI) is a countywide pre-filing diversion program for youth charged with a misdemeanor or felony level offense. The DA’s Office has contracted with the national Conflict Resolution Center (NCRC) to implement and administer the program which involves a restorative justice approach. SANDAG will conduct a process and outcome evaluation using a mixed-method, quasi-experimental design.
