Term: Post-Charge Diversion
Glossary Definition
Last Updated: 2024-07-08
Definition:
A diversion can be offered at any time by the Crown during a prosecution. When a diversion is offered after a charge has been laid, but prior to a conviction, it is called a post-charge diversion. Upon successful competition of the diversion program, criminal charges may be withdrawn, reduced, or otherwise resolved without a criminal record.
