Drunk Driving
An American Dilemma
In this ambitious interdisciplinary study, James B. Jacobs provides the first comprehensive review and analysis of America’s drunk driving problem and of America’s anti-drunk driving policies and jurisprudence. In a clear and accessible style, he considers what has been learned, what is being done, and what constitutional limits exist to the control and enforcement of drunk driving.
