PROSECUTOR-LED PRETRIAL DIVERSION SERIES
The Roundtable
The works in this series are a product of the Institute for Innovation in Prosecution’s (IIP) Roundtable on Prosecutor-Led Pretrial Diversion. This initiative, made possible by the generous support of Arnold Ventures, brought together a focused cohort of criminal justice leaders including elected officials, scholars, directly impacted community members, and academics to explore how prosecutors’ power can be used to divert people away from the criminal justice system and the many challenges.
The Paper Series
The paper series on Prosecutor-Led Pretrial Diversion, made possible by the generous support of Arnold Ventures comprises of a comprehensive monograph and three papers written by leaders in the field of prosecution reform, this series seeks to fill the knowledge gap around diversion and charts the path forward for practitioners, scholars, and advocates. From exploring culture change within prosecutors’ offices to discussing ways in which data has been harnessed to build scalable diversion programs, this series will serve as one of the building blocks of a more humane, dignified, and racially just legal system.
