Alachua County Projections: Increasing Civil Citation Utilization 2 Civil citation utilization is the percent eligible issued a citation. The following reveals increases in public safety based on civil citation utilization increased up to 75%.
The annual Stepping Up study shows juvenile civil citations increase public safety, improve youth outcomes and save taxpayer money. Civil citations increase public safety via lower recidivism rates than arrests, and through cost-savings that are seamlessly reinvested into public safety resources to prevent and handle felonies. Civil citations improve youth outcomes because youth are able to face a future without a criminal misdemeanor record. Civil citations save lots of taxpayer money because it is more expensive to arrest a youth for common youth misbehavior than issue a civil citation. (Please see Stepping Up study for additional information)
To illustrate the community benefits of civil citation, projections of utilization increases of up to 75% are provided.

Collier County Projections: Increasing Civil Citation Utilization 2 Civil citation utilization is the percent eligible issued a citation. The following reveals increases in public safety based on civil citation utilization increased up to 75%.
The annual Stepping Up study shows juvenile civil citations increase public safety, improve youth outcomes and save taxpayer money. Civil citations increase public safety via lower recidivism rates than arrests, and through cost-savings that are seamlessly reinvested into public safety resources to prevent and handle felonies. Civil citations improve youth outcomes because youth are able to face a future without a criminal misdemeanor record. Civil citations save lots of taxpayer money because it is more expensive to arrest a youth for common youth misbehavior than issue a civil citation. (Please see Stepping Up study for additional information)
To illustrate the community benefits of civil citation, projections of utilization increases of up to 75% are provided.

The annual Stepping Up study shows juvenile civil citations increase public safety, improve youth outcomes and save taxpayer money. Civil citations increase public safety via lower recidivism rates than arrests, and through cost-savings that are seamlessly reinvested into public safety resources to prevent and handle felonies. Civil citations improve youth outcomes because youth are able to face a future without a criminal misdemeanor record. Civil citations save lots of taxpayer money because it is more expensive to arrest a youth for common youth misbehavior than issue a civil citation. (Please see Stepping Up study for additional information)
To illustrate the community benefits of civil citation, projections of utilization increases of up to 75% are provided.

Civil citations increase public safety via lower recidivism rates than arrests, and through cost-savings that are seamlessly reinvested into public safety resources to prevent and handle felonies. Civil citations improve youth outcomes because youth are able to face a future without a criminal misdemeanor record. Civil citations save lots of taxpayer money because it is more expensive to arrest a youth for common youth misbehavior than issue a civil citation.

The annual Stepping Up study shows juvenile civil citations increase public safety, improve youth outcomes and save taxpayer money. Civil citations increase public safety via lower recidivism rates than arrests, and through cost-savings that are seamlessly reinvested into public safety resources to prevent and handle felonies. Civil citations improve youth outcomes because youth are able to face a future without a criminal misdemeanor record. Civil citations save lots of taxpayer money because it is more expensive to arrest a youth for common youth misbehavior than issue a civil citation.

Volusia County Projections: Increasing Civil Citation Utilization 2 Civil citation utilization is the percent eligible issued a citation. The following reveals increases in public safety based on civil citation utilization increased up to 75%.
The annual Stepping Up study shows juvenile civil citations increase public safety, improve youth outcomes and save taxpayer money. Civil citations increase public safety via lower recidivism rates than arrests, and through cost-savings that are seamlessly reinvested into public safety resources to prevent and handle felonies. Civil citations improve youth outcomes because youth are able to face a future without a criminal misdemeanor record. Civil citations save lots of taxpayer money because it is more expensive to arrest a youth for common youth misbehavior than issue a civil citation. (Please see Stepping Up study for additional information)
To illustrate the community benefits of civil citation, projections of utilization increases of up to 75% are provided.
