Effects of Environmental Design and Police Enforcement on Violations of a Handicapped Parking Ordinance.

de Balcazar, Yolanda Suarez; And Others

Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, v21 n3 p291-98 Fall 1988

Results of a police enforcement program also showed consistent reductions in inappropriate use compared with a control site. Implications for law enforcement and public policy are discussed. (JW)
