Alternative resolution programmes, often labelled “soft justice,” are frequently misunderstood despite evidence that they reduce reoffending and improve outcomes. Educating the public and highlighting results can build support for effective diversion.

As OoCR programmes expand, the challenge for police forces is no longer adoption but measurement. Integrated analytics and reporting tools provide the visibility needed to assess outcomes, improve consistency, and demonstrate the impact of diversion at scale.

Diversion programmes in the UK and US share common goals but operate under very different legal and operational frameworks. Comparing these approaches highlights how data, technology, and performance measurement can strengthen diversion outcomes across jurisdictions.

UK police forces are under growing pressure to deliver effective Out of Court Resolution programmes with limited resources. Moving beyond spreadsheets to automated, purpose-built platforms enables forces to reduce administrative burden, improve oversight, and deliver more consistent rehabilitative outcomes.

Advent wishes everyone a joyful holiday season filled with laughter, warmth, and cherished moments, whether celebrating near or far, big or small.

UK police forces are moving beyond one-step interventions with Out of Court Resolution (OoCR), embracing multi-step diversion programmes that combine online courses, community service, and restorative justice. Diversion Manager streamlines the design, management, and monitoring of these holistic pathways, helping agencies deliver fairer, evidence-based interventions while simplifying administration.

UK police forces face growing pressures from heavy caseloads and stretched resources, making the management of Out of Court Resolution (OoCR) programmes challenging. Diversion Manager offers a purpose-built digital platform that streamlines OoCR processes, automates administrative tasks, and provides real-time oversight. By improving efficiency, supporting participants, and enabling data-driven decision-making, the platform helps forces deliver fair, timely, and effective jus

Out of Court Resolution (OoCR) programmes are becoming a vital part of modern UK policing, helping officers address low-level offences through rehabilitation rather than prosecution. However, as these initiatives grow, many forces still struggle with outdated spreadsheet systems that make it difficult to track outcomes, measure success, and ensure consistency. Diversion Manager offers a purpose-built digital solution that streamlines reporting, improves data accuracy.

UK police forces face rising crime, growing caseloads, and increasing administrative burdens. Diversion Manager streamlines Out of Court Resolution (OoCR) programmes, automating workflows, centralising case management, and improving officer efficiency—helping forces focus on public safety while supporting better outcomes for participants and communities.

UK police forces are under pressure from rising caseloads, officer burnout, and outdated systems. Moving from spreadsheets to a modern, automated OoCR platform like Diversion Manager streamlines workflows, improves accuracy, and boosts programme completion, allowing officers to focus on delivering justice efficiently.

Out-of-court resolutions are often seen as “soft,” but research shows that with clear structure and victim-centred design, they can provide smarter, more effective justice.

Fairness and consistency are key to the success of Out of Court Resolution (OoCR) programmes across the UK. Yet, regional variations in delivery can lead to uneven outcomes. This post explores how standardisation, supported by technology like Diversion Manager, ensures every participant receives equitable, accessible, and evidence-based interventions, no matter where they live.

UK police forces face growing pressures, and outdated spreadsheets make managing Out of Court Resolution (OoCR) programmes even harder. Diversion Manager centralises case management, automates workflows, and improves accuracy, freeing officers to focus on community safety while providing participants with accessible online courses, 24/7 support, and progress tracking. Automation reduces errors, improves fairness, and strengthens programme outcomes.

Police forces face the challenge of balancing public safety with fair, effective alternatives to prosecution. Diversion Manager bridges the gap by streamlining OoCRs into one digital platform—cutting admin for officers while ensuring participants have accessible courses, 24/7 support, and clear progress tracking. The result: higher completion rates, stronger community trust, and a more efficient justice system.

Frontline officers are often bogged down by paperwork, duplication, and outdated processes that take them away from community policing. Digital case management platforms like Diversion Manager streamline Out of Court Resolution (OoCR) workflows with automation, centralised data, and mobile access, cutting admin time from hours to minutes. The result? Greater efficiency, fewer errors, and more visible, effective policing.

OoCRs are reshaping UK justice. Diversion Manager streamlines case management, reduces recidivism, and helps create safer, fairer communities.

Vaping and nicotine use among youth is rising—but punishment alone doesn’t solve the problem. Diversion Manager’s upcoming Nicotine Course uses proven, stage-based behaviour change science to deliver honest, respectful education that helps participants understand addiction, resist peer pressure, and take control of their health.

AdventFS analysed 90 online diversion course enrolments from 72 students, uncovering trends in participation, demographics, and course performance. Anger Management and Thinking Skills dominate enrolments, nearly half of courses are completed, and early results show strong learner outcomes—offering a glimpse into how data can guide fair and effective diversion strategies.

UK police face growing pressure to handle low-level offences efficiently and fairly. Adapting income-based “day-fine” models—proven in countries like Germany and Finland—within out-of-court resolutions could deliver proportionate penalties, reduce reoffending, and ease court backlogs. The key lies in careful implementation and clear public communication.

UK police forces managing Out-of-Court Resolution (OoCR) programmes with spreadsheets face inefficiencies, errors, and limited collaboration. Diversion Manager replaces outdated manual processes with automation, real-time reporting, and streamlined workflows—improving accuracy, accountability, and outcomes while reducing administrative burden.
