The Illinois Misdemeanor Alternative Prosecution Program (MAP) is a program designed to provide a path for offenders to avoid prosecution for certain misdemeanor offenses. MAP agreements are alternatives to traditional prosecution and can be offered to eligible offenders as an alternative to prosecution. These agreements typically involve community service, counseling, and/or other rehabilitative measures. The types of Illinois Misdemeanor Alternative Prosecution Program agreements vary depending on the county, but generally include the following: Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA), Pre-Trial Diversion (LTD), Supervision, and Restorative Justice. A Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) is an agreement in which the prosecutor agrees to delay prosecution of the offense in exchange for the offender completing certain requirements, such as community service and/or counseling. Once the requirements are met, the charges may be dismissed. Pre-Trial Diversion (LTD) is an agreement in which the prosecutor agrees to delay prosecution of the offense in exchange for the offender completing certain requirements, such as community service and/or counseling. Once the requirements are met, the charges may be dismissed or reduced. Supervision is an agreement in which the offender agrees to comply with certain conditions of supervision, such as meeting with a probation officer, attending community service and/or counseling, and avoiding contact with the victim or witnesses. If the offender successfully completes the terms of supervision, the charges may be dismissed or reduced. Restorative Justice is an agreement in which the offender agrees to participate in a restorative justice process, such as a victim-offender mediation. This process typically involves the offender meeting with the victim and/or members of the community to discuss the impact of the offense, and to determine how the offender can make amends. If the offender successfully completes the process, the charges may be dismissed or reduced.
