justice alternatives

​Individuals are referred to the Justice Alternatives program by the police or State's Attorney for misdemeanors such as noise violations, unlawful trespass, unlawful mischief and other offenses before someone is charged with a crime.  If the individual participates successfully in the Justice Alternatives program, they will not be charged. Each pre-charge process is crafted for each situation; individuals might participate in a Restorative Justice Panel process, a restorative conference, or other activities. Victims and affected parties have the option of being involved.
