Abstract

Sweden has implemented one of the strictest drinking and driving laws in the western world. The deterrent value of this stringent approach has generated a great deal of debate and controversy. This paper argues that efforts to assess the impact of Swedish drinking and driving legislation should be incorporated into a broader sociological theory which would consider a greater range of extra- legal variables.
