Availability of Mediation for Criminal Charges, Factors

(1) Law enforcement agencies, city attorneys and district attorneys may consider the availability and likely effectiveness of mediation in determining whether to process and prosecute criminal charges. If it appears that mediation is in the interests of justice and of benefit to the offender, victim and community, the law enforcement agency, city attorney or district attorney may propose mediation through a qualified mediation program.  . . .
