The purposes of an early disposition program are to:
(1) Hold offenders accountable for their actions;
(2) Ensure a prompt resolution of criminal matters;
(3) Protect the rights of the public and the offender;
(4) Maximize use of community resources to provide alternative sanctions for criminal behavior; and
(5) Reduce the costs to the criminal justice system that are incurred when traditional sanctions are the only option available to district attorneys and courts.
