a.Are there any formal diversion or "extrajudicial measures" in your community? List and describe them.

b.How and when do youth typically get referred to these programs?

c.What is the typical profile of youths referred to this type of program? Are they first-time or repeat offenders? What kinds of offences do they typically commit? How old are they?
