TRAFFIC OFFENSE SENTENCING PROCESSES AND HIGHWAY SAFETY. VOLUME II. TECHNICAL REPORT

This document is the product of a survey to determine what needs to be known before meaningful standards and goals in traffic sanction policy can be formulated. As such, it represents a first step toward a policy science approach to traffic sanctions as a part of a national transportation policy. The primary focus of this study is on traffic sanctions as an instrument of loss reduction. The sanctioning process can be considered as distinct from other traffic law enforcement phases such as law enforcement and adjudication, but changes in sanction policy have recursive effects on other aspects of law enforcement.
