Reducing the Rate of Referrals for Juvenile Delinquency

Broward youth who have contact with law enforcement for less serious charges are accountable for their behavior and stay out of deeper involvement in the Juvenile Justice system, experience positive youth, and family development, and have victim and community empathy and awareness.

The Broward Diversion Coalition (BDC) promotes positive youth development, accountability, and responsibility through education for youth, families, communities and law enforcement; and collaborate service system enhancement to strengthen alternatives to Juvenile Arrest and/ or Prosecution.
