Diversion Demographics 

The race, ethnicity, and gender of an offender is based on what law enforcement reports which can vary among agencies based upon the agency’s policies and process for collecting demographic data.  Legal and ethical responsibilities prohibit us from speaking directly with defendants in criminal cases; and therefore, we do not ask a defendant to self-identify.
