Prearrest Delinquency Citation
Prearrest delinquency citation (PDC) programs, formerly known as civil citation programs, have a positive effect on the criminal justice system by immediately holding youth accountable for their actions and contributing to an overall reduction in crime rates and recidivism in Florida. Pursuant to Florida Statutes, a PDC program for misdemeanor offenses has been established in each of Florida's twenty judicial circuits.
