The planning process will include an analysis of the of the key stakeholders in Brevard County; the development of the logic model which will identify short, mid and long-term goals; a Web site to focus and inform the community; and, a cost-saving analysis for the community. All of the evidence indicates that civil citation is one of the best alternatives for nonserious offenses, especially those occurring as a result of overreaction to zero tolerance policies and provides youth with an alternative to entry into the juvenile justice system.
