  3. Criminal-Justice Diversion The removal of offenders from the application of the criminal law at any stage of the police and court process. It implies the formal halting or suspending of traditional-criminal proceedings against individuals who have violated criminal statutes, in favor of processing them through some non-criminal disposition or means. 17-3

  4. Supreme Court CasesAffecting Probation and Parole • Mempa v. Rhay (1967)Decision held that the right to counsel applies to state probation revocation at which deferred sentence may be imposed. • Morrissey v. Brewer (1972) Ruling that a parolee facing revocation is entitled to both a preliminary hearing or determine whether he or she actually violated parole, and a final hearing to consider not only the facts in question, but, also, if there was a violation, what to do about it. 17-4

  5. Proposition 36 • This California initiative, passed in 2000, sought to focus on treating drug addiction, not as a crime, but as a health problem. • It mandates probation and drug treatment for nonviolent offenders convicted of possession of illegal drugs for personal use. • The first, rigorous, scientific study of Proposition 36 showed that it wasn’t doing very well. Rearrest rates were significantly higher than for non-Proposition 36 clients. • Drug treatment programs are only as good as the treatment programs to which the drug-involved offenders are sent. • There are simply not enough programs to meet the need nationwide and in California. 17-5
