Traffic Enforcement and the Community
- Traffic stops account for more than half of all contacts between citizens and law enforcement professionals across the nation each year.
- The goal for each stop should be to make the violator aware of the violation either through education or enforcement.
- Specific deterrence
- The issuance of the summons, along with the punishment attached to it, will prevent him or her from committing the same violation in the future.
- General deterrence
- Society may become aware of the punishment associated with a violation.
