Why Is This Important?

Juvenile crime can give a community a great sense about how the youth in the community feel connected or disconnected with that area.

These are offenses like: minor in possession of alcohol or tobacco, truancy, running away, and violating curfew.

Comment:

it would be good to have a paragraph that tells the reader where Livingston and Park County rank statewide in numbers or how it compares to other cities/counties with the same population. all of these little extras gives the reader comparisons especially if they are looking to relocate to our area.
