Description : The purpose of this work plan is to assess the outcomes of the Misdemeanor Diversion Program of the National Safety Council, Nebraska. The evaluation question to be answered is: To what degree does the National Safety Council, Nebraskas diversion program reduce recidivism? This study will compare recidivism outcomes for three groups: 1) individuals who completed the diversion program; 2) individuals who started but did not complete the diversion program; and 3) individuals who did not participate in the diversion program. The diversion program is a voluntary program that offers a one-time chance for a person charged with certain crimes to avoid having a criminal conviction on their record. Participants pay an enrollment fee, complete community service, and complete a class. The results of this study will aid the Misdemeanor Diversion Program (MDP) in continuing, improving, and marketing their program.
