Regulatory Enforcement Styles

William T. Gormley, JR

GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY

The enforcement styles of inspectors are particularly important when a regulatory agency deals with issues that are low in salience and low in complexity In this article, based on interviews with 104 child care in spectors in four states, I distinguish between individual-level and state- level variations in regulatory stringency, regulatory flexibility, and technical support. The evidence suggests a breakdown of democratic accountabil ity but also techniques for restoring it.
