Rajasthan Police Drunken Driving

Rajasthan has seen a dramatic increase in the number of road accidents attributable to drunken driving, making the combat against road accidents a top priority for the authorities. This project will test the effectiveness of different strategies in carrying out anti-drunken driving roadblocks across the state. These strategies will try to tackle two problems commonly faced in the implementation of roadblocks: lack of effort and propensity to take bribes. The evaluation will engage two cross-cutting interventions to be implemented in districts across the state: (i) dedicated enforcement teams versus regular police station staff, and (ii) fixed versus surprise roadblocks.
