    Default Benefits of a Diversion Program

    Is getting on the diverging program a form of plea bargain? Is it better to get on a diverging program or go on probation? I wouldn't want a conviction on my record so which is better?

    Default Diversion Program

    Depending upon how the diversion program works, it may be very much like being on probation, except you don't end up with a criminal record. Some jurisdictions take a guilty plea before allowing an offender to participate in a diversion program, while others permit diversion prior to the entry of a plea.

    Default

    If I go on supervision would that go one my record? If I get on the diverging program then when I apply for jobs do I have to write yes-diversion dismissed or can I just check no for convictions?
