ABSTRACT

This paper reflects the findings of research that studied DUI [driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs] issues in Charleston, South Carolina, a tourism-oriented Southern USA city. The results of that study provided local police with a detailed analysis of the city’s DUI arrests over an extended period of time and provided recommendations for both deterrent and enforcement improvement. What makes the research appropriate for this journal is that the work was done with undergraduate student assistance and also that it became the focus of a class project for an upper-level hospitality and tourism management course. We are pleased to share the results of the study and the class assignment so that others wishing to do so may replicate the valuable learning exercise into their teaching.

摘要

本文反映了对美国南部旅游导向型城市南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿酒后驾车 (DUI) 问题的研究结果。该研究的结果为当地警方提供了对该市长期酒后驾车逮捕情况的详细分析，并为改进威慑和执法提供了建议。这项研究适合本期刊的原因是，这项工作是在本科生的协助下完成的，而且它成为了高级酒店和旅游管理课程的班级项目的焦点。我们很高兴分享研究结果和课堂作业，以便其他希望这样做的人可以将有价值的学习练习复制到他们的教学中。
