Abstract
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.
