The opinions and practices of police officers with respect to drinking and driving laws : a secondary analysis.

While a great deal of research has been done on the drinking and driving problem and the enforcement of drinking and driving laws, much less attention has been paid to the opinions and practices of the enforcers of those laws. Noting that the identification of factors hampering the application of enforcement and the alleviation thereof may contribute to a heightened enforcement efficiency, a survey of Dutch police officers was conducted in order to address this situation. This chapter presents a portion of the results of that study.
