Worksheet5: Developing public policy solutions

Date: September 23, 2007 Group Members: John Smith, Jane Doe, and Joe Shmoe

 

Your problem (phrase):

The large number of teenagers in this country who drive drunk..

 

List at least three public policy alternatives. Be sure that all of your public policy alternatives are at the same geographical level as your social problem. Each alternative must specify the actual government or government agency that will carry out the proposed action.

Three possible proposals for reducing teen drunk driving deaths are New York State laws that:

  1. Reduce the legal BAC level for DWI from .08 to .06.
  2. Increase the penalty for DWI for those under age 21 to include an immediate one-year suspension of one’s driver’s license
  3. Raising the age at which you can get a license to 18.
