In 2004, 16,694 Americans died in alcohol-related crashes, and another 248,000 were injured. While there have been slight decreases over the past two years, there is still someone killed almost every half hour. One of the most effective ways of stopping this problem is through law enforcement, and not just law enforcement, but high-visibility law enforcement. When the perceived risk of getting caught goes up, the likelihood that people will make the fatal decision to drink and drive decreases. This general deterrent effect can come only when enforcement is known about and feared. |
