What is the difference between Deferred Prosecution and Court Probation?
Deferred Prosecution is an informal agreement between the child and the department in which the child must meet certain requirements. If the child does meet those requirements and does not have any problems, then the child will not have to be adjudicated and placed on probation.
Court Probation is when the child is adjudicated and placed on formal probation in which the child must meet certain conditions of the court.
