The handbook also outlines program options available among the State's diversion programs and describes its administrative structures used to establish diversion programs. Various service options are described and evaluated. The steps necessary to develop community involvement and support in such programs design and implementation are outlined, and the major legal issues to be considered in the design of juvenile diversion program are addressed, with emphasis on the need to protect individual due process rights. The handbook briefly describes diversion programs currently operating in the State, listed alphabetically by county.
