Regulatory enforcement : accommodation and conflict in four states - Malden, MA : Blackwell Publishers, jul./aug. 1997
Interviews with 104 child care inspectors in four states (Colorado, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania) offer glimpses of the enforcement tools preferred by inspectors under different regulatory circumstances. Inspectors in the four states diverge often enough to raise doubts about the convergence thesis of Day and Klein (1987). An adversarial approach is more apparent in North Carolina and Pennsylvania; an accommodationist approach is more apparent in Colorado and Oklahoma. Legal, political, and administrative variables help to explain these differences
