Know about the book -

Traffic Safety Reform in the United States and Great Britain is written by Jerome S. Legge and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0822976706 (ISBN 10) and 9780822976707 (ISBN 13).

Recently, there has been a renewed concern with highway safety, reflected in wide media coverage and new laws aimed at reducing highway deaths and injuries. Legge examines three initiatives that have been studied only in isolation: stricter drinking-age laws, mandated use of seat belts, and deterrents to drunk driving. His research covers three large industrial states-New York, California, and Michigan, as well as Great Britain, each of which uses a different mix of these initiatives. Using a combination of theory and research methodology, Legge tests a number of models on how traffic fatalities might be reduced and offers valuable suggestions for policy makers, researchers, and activists.
