Abstract
An empirical analysis of 1100 youth attempts to identify youth characteristics and service delivery program attributes associated with diversion success. Youth needs, type of agency, and percentage of proposed service cycle actually delivered all seem to have dramatic effects on the nature of the service experience by youth, and, in turn, are related to recidivism patterns.Keywords
