The ABA Criminal Justice Section has recently approved its first set of Standards on Diversion.  How can they effectively be utilized to help offset the disproportionate number of poor people of color from criminal prosecution and its collateral damages?  Many stakeholders in this space have developed internal policies and practices for diversion and alternatives to incarceration programs, but often without the guidance of uniform and multi-faceted standards that emphasize a public health perspective for the establishment, implementation, and evaluation of diversion programs.  This presentation will focus on the unique role that public defenders can play in advancing fair and effective alternatives to the traditional arrest, prosecution and sentencing of persons who suffer from substance use and mental health disorders.
