Abstract

Pre-adjudication diversion from the traditional juvenile court system has become the "recommended" solution to the worsening delinquency problem in America. Numerous changes must be made in the present system for diversion to be effective. This article makes ten recom mendations for substantial improvement of the process. The two most important are the proposal that the diversion process be firmly established in a statute and the suggestion that the juvenile court judge become personally involved with the diversion system. These and the eight other changes proposed will help the diversion process operate systematically, with due regard for the rights of the children, and will also provide some degree of supervisory authority over the operation of the entire system.
