This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of a nonsanction seat belt law enforcement program in two experimental communities of contrasting size in a state with a mandatory belt law. The main ingredients of the program were seat belt "salutes," public information and education, and limited use of inexpensive economic incentives. Driver shoulder belt use data collected before, during, and after the experimental programs, compared to similar data collected in a comparison community, showed the approach to be effective. While standard seat belt enforcement activities without incentives have been shown to be effective, many police departments, especially in smaller communities, are reluctant to make wholesale increases in seat belt citations. Although requiring some additional level of manpower and resources, a nonsanction approach to seat belt law enforcement can provide an alternate way of increasing belt use in these communities.
本文描述了在一个实施强制系安全带法律的州,针对两个规模不同的实验社区开展的一项非制裁性安全带执法计划的实施情况及评估结果。该计划的主要内容包括安全带“敬礼”、公共宣传与教育,以及有限度地使用低成本经济激励措施。将实验计划实施前、实施期间和实施后的驾驶员肩部安全带使用数据,与在一个对照社区收集的类似数据进行比较,结果表明该方法是有效的。虽然已证明没有激励措施的标准安全带执法活动是有效的,但许多警察部门,尤其是在较小的社区,不愿大幅增加安全带罚单的开具数量。尽管需要一定额外的人力和资源,但非制裁性的安全带执法方法可以为在这些社区提高安全带使用率提供一种替代方式。
