John C. Mero

Under the Influence

A Case Study of the Elks, MADD, and DUI Policy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines how DUI laws, an undeniably good public policy, may have had negative unintended consequences for the Elks, one of the oldest lodge-based voluntary associations in America. To examine this empirically, author John C. Mero conducted interviews with fifty-five California and Florida Elk Exalted Rulers.
