Hi all, I desperately want to avoid a criminal record. I'm planning to plead guilty for shop lift . I have had diversion before though... I have urges to steal and am seeing psychologist for my problem and have not stolen since last offence. Please any advice I can do , such as writing to the police to get charges dropped? Or request for another diversion? Is any of that possible. please advice on anything i can do before my court date for a mentioning.
