Evanston, 111., Feb. 10. Enforce
ment by police departments and
courts of traffic laws and regulations
when properly carried out, Is called
an effective weapon in combatting
the automobile accident problem in
a report of a Etudy of enforcement
practices made by Northwestern Unl
versity Traffic Officers Training
School, Evanston, 111., in conjunction
with the Travelers Insurance com
pany.
mis conclusion is based on an
analysis of the records of enforce
mcnt and death rates as reported
month by month by 3S cities in wide
ly scattered parts of the United
States. Actualy 106 cities provided
information, but in 68 of them data
offered were not sufficiently complete
to permit any distinction between
convictions having to do with oper
ation of cars and those connected
with parking and non-operating ar
rests.
Enforcement as a potent force to
prevent accidents would be the most
effective in cities sow having a poor
showing in that respect, the report
points out, although it is strongly
recommended to all cities as the
method which can produce much
more rapidly than other means an
Improvement in automobile accident
death rates.
An enforcement inex of 10 court
convictions to every personal injury
accident in a city is offered in the re
port as the goal toward which cities
snouia strive in working for a re
duction in automobile accident ex
perience. The index is explained as
the "ration of the number of con
victions for traffic law violations in
volving cars in motion to the number
of persona Injury accidents."
That wide variance exists in en
forcement practices is brought out
by the study which shows that De
troit heads the 1st with an increase
in Index from 9.5 in 1934 to 17.2
last year, in contrast to an index of
less than one conviction of operators
of cars in motion per personal injury
accidents reported by a number of
cities. In fact, out of the 28 cities
providing information, only three
last year were able to exceed an en
forcement index of 10.
Cities showing the fcest enforce
ment of traffic laws and regulations
are placed by the report in a group
having at least four convictions of
operators of cars in motion per per
sonal Injury accident. Only 18 of the
38 cities included in the detailed
study were able to exceed this figure.
Cities in a medium group having an
enforcement index from 4.0 to 1.25
cumbered 10, while in the lowest
classification, where the enforcement
index was under 1.25, there were 10
cities.
Folowing Detroit in the rank of
high enforcement indices were Phoe
nix, Ariz., Evanston, 111., Berkeley,
Calif., Wichita, Kans., and Syracuse,
N. Y. Fourteenth In standing was
New York City which was in the
high bracket of cities, and Chicago
stood nineteenth. In the medium
group of cities. j
The highest bracket of cities, ac
cording to the report, had an increase
last year of 41 per cent In enforce-

of 10 per cent In combined auto
mobile accident death rate. The
medium group had an increase of
32 per cent in enforcement and a
decrease of 24 per cent in combined
death rate. The low group, where
the average enforcement Index was
less than one conviction of operators
of cars in motion per personal in
jury accident, 6howed an increase of
only 3.1 In enforcement, but a de
crease of 34 per cent in death rate.
In In is connection the" opinion is
expressed that possibly the high en
forcement group may be approaching
a point of diminishing returns from
such activities, although the medium
group has not yet reached that point.
"In the low group," the report states,
"an Increase in enforcement over a
long period of time would produce a
noticeable decrease In the automobile
accident death." The study adds,
however, that sight should not be
lost of such factors as the education
of the driver and pedestrian and en
gineering of the highway and the
driver.
