Abstract

Everyone talks about the drinking driver, and everyone thinks he knows what to do about him. But, Professor Cramton says, the scientifically reliable knowledge we now are acquiring indicates that our legal approaches of deterrence and punishment fail to strike at the heart of the problem and are ineffective. He offers some suggestions for a new course.
