Abstract:

Author's abstract: The 21 Enforcement Program was initiated by the New York State Liquor Authority (SLA) to encourage increased enforcement of the 21-year-old alcohol purchase age law. Under this law, a person providing an alcoholic beverage to an underage person is subject to criminal charges; if the crime takes place in an establishment licensed to sell alcoholic beverages, the establishment is subject to sanctions by the SLA. The level of 21 enforcement conducted by police agencies in three program counties increased substantially during the program period, July-December 1987, when compared to a pre-program period; dramatic increases occurred in the number of servers and sellers arrested for 21 violations and the number of establishments referred to the SLA. Similar increases did not occur in two comparison counties. The positive changes during the program were not sustained by any of the police agencies during a post-program period. Generally, the 21 enforcement conducted by agencies that regularly used underage persons as undercover agents was more productive and cost-effective than the enforcement conducted by other agencies. The managers of establishments licensed to sell alcohol perceived that enforcement and the risk of arrest for 21 violations had increased. Most managers were also aware of the use of underage agents and stated that they had begun to proof patrons more strictly. Although the program produced extremely positive enforcement results, the measures of the program's impact on drinking and driving by underage persons produced mixed results. This may indicate that the program was implemented too briefly or that many of the underage persons who drink and drive obtain alcoholic beverages from others.
