Enforcement research focuses on studying the methods, strategies, and practices used to ensure compliance with laws, regulations, and policies. This field examines how enforcement mechanisms such as inspections, fines, penalties, and sanctions are used by authorities to deter illegal or harmful behavior and promote adherence to legal frameworks. Researchers in this area may explore issues related to the effectiveness of enforcement actions, the challenges of enforcement in different contexts, and the impact of enforcement strategies on behavior and outcomes. Additionally, enforcement research may also examine the role of technology, data analytics, and other innovative approaches in improving enforcement efforts.
