Navigating Mixed-Theory Programs: Lessons Learned From a Prostitution-Diversion Project

College of Social Work, University of Utah, 395 South 1500 East, Salt Lake City, UT 84112-0260swahab{at}socwk.utah.edu

This article discusses some findings of a qualitative evaluation of Salt Lake City’s Prostitution Diversion Project (conducted in 2003-2004) to expose some of the challenges and opportunities of mixed-theory projects. The findings focus specifically on project stakeholders’ recommendations for improving the program. Many of these recommendations are related to the tensions that manifested between the two major stakeholders: Criminal Justice Services and the Harm Reduction Project. The unlikely relationship between these stakeholders is what distinguished the Salt Lake City project from other prostitution-diversion programs in the United States and Canada.
