Criteria for traffic offense sanctions are discussed in terms of evenness, economy, appropriateness, rational allocation, effectiveness and parsimony. The framework for development of standards for traffic offense sanctions is presented. The research literature related to traffic offense sanctions is reviewed, emphasizing special and general effectiveness. An agenda for recommended research is proposed. Four specific sanction policies are analyzed: habitual offender laws, driver license suspension/revocation, mandatory penalties and restricted or occupational licenses.
