Cost of Collections Estimate Guide and Case Studies

We created this guide as part of a series of resources to support community advocates in building state and local campaigns to abolish youth fees and fines by sharing strategies from Debt Free Justice campaigns. See more resources at debtfreejustice.org/resources. 

This is a guide to estimating the cost of collecting fees, fines, and restitution in their state that includes background and tips for data collection, calculating the cost of collections, and framing. If you have questions about this resource, write to [email protected].
