Find a local program (city or county based) and a state-level program to use for your assignment. You need only discuss two programs.

Using two credible sources please answer:

• Define diversion and its goals and interaction with the juvenile justice system.
• Identify three components of the diversionary programs and initiatives within the programs you identified.
• Compare and contrast the state and local programs.
  • How well do they contribute to successful reintegration services?
  • How well do they contribute to successful and transition services?
• Analyze trends and patterns of these programs as they contribute to reduced recidivism (this may be data driven).
• Relate the trends and patterns to the programs overall validity and effectiveness.

Please use in text citations and APA 7 format! Also PLEASE do not use other course hero work.
