TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - The Effects of "Tough" Drunk Driving Laws on Policing: A Case Study JO - Crime and delinquency A1 - Kinkade, P. T. A1 - Leone, M. C. SP - 239 EP - 257 VL - 38 IS - 2 N2 - In 1982, California passed into law severe sanctions for driving while intoxicated. The effects of these law changes on policing were investigated. Using limited time series and elite interview methodologies, it was found that the law's passage was related to reduced arrest rates for several misdemeanors, including driving under the influence.
