The article discusses a computer-based study related to the causes of traffic deaths in Jacksonville, Florida from 1965-1966. Researchers used advanced industrial management science techniques to obtain the results. The study revealed that habitual, white, male traffic violators were involved in accidents at speeds averaging more than 50 miles per hour within the city's limits. Researchers say the study shows that effective traffic enforcement programs must aim to slow down, apprehend, and remove the habitual traffic violators from city streets.
