..In a narrative format, discuss the key facts and critical issues presented above.Schmalleger and Smykla (2015) described diversion discontinuation of formal criminal proceedings against an accused person before conviction according to the agreement that the defendant would participate in programs that are designed to change his or her anti-social behavior. While a diversion can either be conditional or unconditional, the process is an effective strategy for solving many of the conviction-related problems in the criminal justice system. In contrast, probation is the conditional release of a convicted offender into the community and be subjected to revocation when the convict fails to meet the conditions that are supervised by the probation officer. In spite of the issues surrounding the use of probation to decongest the prison and reduce the rate of recidivism among offenders, the process serves as the source of reintegration, non-stigmatization of the offender, low-cost of criminal justice administration, and foundation for imposing stiffer sentences in the future
