Preferred term

diversion  

Definition

  • the formal routing of offenders away from traditional criminal or juvenile justice processing for a specified period of time and under certain conditions, after which their charges will be dismissed. In theory, diversion minimizes the stigma associated with criminal conviction. [Source: The Concise Dictionary of Crime and Justice; Diversion]
