Pretrial Intervention Program (PTI) is a program generally designed for first time offenders in non-violent crimes in the state of New Jersey to render early rehabilitative services, to deter future criminal behavior. Many states have similar programs under different names.[1][2]

In 2014, American football running back, Ray Rice, was granted PTI despite being indicted on third degree assault. This occurs in less than 1% of domestic assault charges.[3]
