SUMMARY
"Everyone knows 'drunk driving' is a 'serious' offense. And yet, everyone knows lots of 'drunk drivers' who don't get involved in accidents, don't get caught by the police, and manage to compensate adequately for their 'drunken disability.' Everyone also knows of 'drunk drivers' who have been arrested and gotten off easy. Gusfield's book dissects the conventional wisdom about 'drinking-driving' and examines the paradox of a 'serious' offense that is usually treated lightly by the judiciary and rarely carries social stigma."--Mac Marshall, Social Science and MedicineGusfield, Joseph R. is the author of 'Culture of Public Problems Drinking-Driving and the Symbolic Order', published 1984 under ISBN 9780226310947 and ISBN 0226310949.
