Philadelphia police launch program to reduce arrests of minors

  • The Philadelphia District Attorney announced a new initiative to reduce arrests of juveniles for lower-level crimes, focusing on enforcement and rehabilitation efforts instead of incarceration.
  • Beginning Monday, Philadelphia police will implement a diversion program to keep kids out of the criminal justice system for minor offenses.
  • The youth diversion plan follows a similar program in Philadelphia schools, significantly reducing arrests from about 1,500 to a little over 100 last year.
  • The program aims to prevent negative impacts of arrests on young people and promote community engagement through positive activities.
