Michigan Public Policy Survey (MPPS) Spring 2024 County Prosecutors, Question 23

Support or oppose local gun diversion programs specifically

Full Question Text

Q23.    Now we would like you to think specifically about gun diversion programs for individuals with no prior criminal history who are facing charges for criminal possession of a weapon. Through a gun diversion program, they would have an opportunity to avoid incarceration and have their conviction dismissed in return for participating in an intervention program (e.g., a nightly curfew, random drug tests, unannounced home visits by police, therapy, skills training, etc.). In general, would you support or oppose this type of gun diversion program in your county?
