This case study is part of the Mapping Prosecutor-Led Diversion Project, a joint project of the National District Attorneys Association and the Urban Institute with funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. This case study highlights the Juvenile Diversion Initiative in San Diego County, California, a pre-file diversion program for youth under 18 that aims to intervene early and limit the number of youth entering the juvenile justice system. In particular, this case study focuses on the initiative’s broad eligibility criteria and its incorporation of education advocates, highlighting takeaways for other prosecutors and stakeholders looking to launch similar programs.
