Many young offenders fall into criminal activities for various reasons: peer presure, broken homes, drug addiction, and many more vices. To admit fault is a bold step in life and that is one of the key requirements dor diversion.
Diversion is “the halting or suspension before conviction of formal criminal proceedings against a person, conditioned on some form of counter performance by the defendant.”(Geroge, 1984) therefore, this gives an undeserving second to young offenders where the criminal justice sytem is being fair in giving such services. The criminal justice system not only gives a second chance to the offenders but also reduces to the minimun the rate of crime and the rule of law is perfectly placed in the hearts of its citizens.
Law enforcement is the practical use of the rule of law and diversion makes every individual respect the law and law enforcement officers.
