Traffic and the Police: Variations in Law-Enforcement Policy (Joint Center for Urban Publications Ser)

By John A. Gardiner

After a brief description of the role of various state and local agencies in setting traffic-enforcement policy, the author analyzes in depth the traffic activities of four Massachusetts cities. He examines in particular the extent of public pressure in seeking modification of enforcement standards, interdepartmental practices, or 'norms', and the role of traffic enforcement in the total spectrum of police activities.
