【摘要】this paper uses two studies to examine the effects of civic participation on obeying traffic laws. the first study, a randomized field experiment, shows that drivers were more likely to obey traffic rules if they were asked by the police department to recommend the best way to disseminate information on traffic law enforcement, compared to if they only received such information. the second study shows that, when comparing two options for reducing traffic violations, drivers were more likely to choose the effective strategy than were police bureaucrats.
