Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Tennessee, in 1978, became the first state to enact child passenger safety legislation. Law enforcement participation in the program was minimal until the fall of 1979 when the Tennessee Highway Patrol undertook a unique approach to enforcement of the legislation. The Patrol's enforcement strategy has resulted in active enforcement and support for the law among police personnel and strengthened and broadened its public acceptance.
