Focusing on low-level offenses and quality-of-life crimes, Community Courts address issues like littering and public drunkenness with a goal of enhancing urban well-being. Unlike traditional courts that may dismiss cases or impose minor fines, these courts seek to impose meaningful consequences on offenders. This approach aims to prevent disorder from escalating, ultimately fostering a safer and more vibrant community for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.
