Evaluation of a Juvenile Diversion Program: Using Multiple Lines of Evidence.

Lipsey, Mark W.; And Others

Evaluation Review, v5 n3 p283-306 Jun 1981

Two program goals were: (1) providing a community-based alternative for arrested juveniles who otherwise would have been referred to the juvenile justice system; and (2) reducing juvenile delinquency. Results from various measures indicated the program had little success in decreasing referrals but produced positive delinquency reduction effects. (Author/RL)
