In the criminal justice system, one of the most persistent challenges has been the high rate of recidivism among offenders. However, utilising Diversion Manager courses has shown remarkable promise in addressing this issue. These courses are making a significant impact on lowering repeat offences.
Enter Diversion Manager Courses
Diversion Manager, in collaboration with Advent eLearning, offers over 40 evidence-based behaviour modification courses designed to address this very issue. These courses offer a fresh approach to rehabilitation, focusing on education and behaviour change rather than punishment alone.
Key Features of Diversion Manager Courses:

Proven Results: The Kentucky Case Study
A case study from Kentucky's criminal justice system provides strong evidence of the effectiveness of these courses. The study, conducted in August 2017, compared recidivism rates between offenders who completed Advent eLearning courses and those who received traditional punishment.
The results were striking:
Two-Year Recidivism Rate: 25.7% for course participants vs. 39.2% for traditional punishment
Three-Year Recidivism Rate: 31.6% for course participants vs. 46.4% for traditional punishment
These statistics demonstrate a significant reduction in recidivism rates among those who completed the eLearning courses, showcasing the potential of this approach in reforming offenders and reducing repeat offences.
The Broader Impact
The implications of these findings extend far beyond individual offenders. By lowering recidivism rates, Diversion Manager courses contribute to:
Reduced strain on the criminal justice system
Increased public safety
Cost savings for taxpayers
Better outcomes for offenders and their families
As more jurisdictions adopt these innovative eLearning courses, we can anticipate a shift in how criminal justice and rehabilitation are approached. The success of Diversion Manager courses in lowering recidivism rates offers a beacon of hope for creating a more effective, humane, and rehabilitative justice system.
