At another level, however, the research reported herein is concerned with general questions of deterrence, and with the impact of the criminal justice system on the perception and behavior of a broad cross-section of the population. In contrast to much of the research in the drink-drive field, the research questions concentrate on the psychological and sociological processes whereby behavior is altered in the short-term as the result of a massive legal intervention or as the result of the routine imposition of legal punishments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-07-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781468470796\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4684-7077-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 318\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47671510237324,"sku":"9781468470796","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781468470796.jpg?v=1776516796","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781468470796","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
