The city considered eli
minating it (the program)
altogether, but they do
that every year," McMas
ters said. "It (pre-trial di
version) doesn't fit under
the 'essential scrvices'eatch
word that the city has
been using."
Unlike other programs
funded by the city and
county, the pre-trial div
ersion office is not man
dated, he said.
"We're like an extra.
We're always in a down
position," he said. "Also,
we're still seen in some
people's eyes as being soft
on crime. We are not uni
versally accepted. . .some
people don't think we
ought to be doing this."
McMasters said the pro
gram's budget for 1983
84 has been set at $175,
558. His request for more
than $64,000 in city and
county funding has been
approved, and the re
mainder of the budget
will come from fees and
client charges.
The budget for the pu
gram is $40,000 less than
it was in 1 975, McMasters
said.
The office has elimi
nated one part-time po
sition in order to save
money this year. The pro
gram offers internships
in the misdemeanor div
ision, but is unable to pay
the interns, Albers said.
Two UNL students are
working as volunteers
under her supervision this
summer.
The completion rate of
the pre-trial diversion pro
gram is very high, Mc
Masters said.
"Completion rates mean
that the person at least is
not re-convicted," he said.
Completion rates average
90 percent in the misde
meanor division and 70
to 73 percent in the fel
ony division.
Withdrawal rates
among pre-trial diversion
participants are hard to
pinpoint because of the
complexity involved in
studying them, McMasters
said. However, he con
ducted a study in 1981 in
Lincoln that revealed the
rate among diversion parti
cipants was 8 percent
lower than those who
went through the court
system.
"This is only statistically
important. . .," he said.
"Financially, it doesn't
make much of a differ
ence. But it at least gives
us an argument against
critics. . .we at least don't
do any worse with diversion."
