- 요약Prior research on prosecutor-led pretrial diversion program effectiveness is sparse. Research that does exist is limited in that it focuses on short-term outcomes and does not examine the impact of structural factors in participants' lives. These studies also typically construct comparison groups of individuals who experienced traditional prosecution, neglecting another important comparison group: individuals who did not have their cases filed. The current study aims to address these gaps through a mixed-methods evaluation of the impact of one mid-sized prosecutor-led pretrial diversion program on recidivism. The quantitative study design is a quasi-experimental impact evaluation. The sample consists of about 2,500 program-eligible cases that had an initial filing decision made between 2016 and 2018. I conducted propensity score weighted logistic and Cox regression models to examine impact of program participation on the likelihood and hazard of arrest during three observation periods. I also examined whether race moderated the effect of the program on arrest. The qualitative piece was designed to examine how different racial groups of program participants experienced structural factors like housing and employment stability. I used a flexible coding approach to analyze 17 interviews with participants enrolled in the program. Quantitative results suggest that the program is effective in reducing recidivism among program participants, compared to both individuals who experienced traditional prosecution and those whose cases were not filed. Generally, race did not moderate the relationship between program participation and recidivism. Qualitative results showed that program participants overall experienced very few structural disadvantages and very low levels of relative disadvantage. Participants who did experience structural disadvantages, however, experienced multiple compounding disadvantages. Although there were not enough Black participants to reach saturation, exploratory qualitative analyses showed that among those who experience disadvantage, Black participants may face more severe and longer-lasting disadvantages. However, among advantaged participants, there was no evidence of racial differences in structural experiences. Study findings support the continued use of this program, which appears to have a long-term positive impact on public safety and equity in recidivism outcomes. The findings also highlight unique aspects of this program participant pool which provides insights for improved future monitoring and evaluation.
