In contrast to the traditional sanction-based strategy of enforcement which emphasises coercion and deterrence, the compliance strategy focuses upon voluntary commitment to standards through learning, inducements, and self-responsibility.  The reasons why this strategy has been adopted in the two enforcement programmes are also considered.  In addition, the article assesses the effectiveness of the compliance strategy, highlighting the greater degree of effectiveness in the food control programme than in the industrial safety programme, especially in the construction sector.  The differences are explained in economic terms.  Where the cost of violating regulations (both penal and non-penal) outweighs the cost of conforming, as in the food control programme, it is more likely that the strategy will work.  If the reverse is true, as in the construction industry, then it is more difficult to ensure a positive response to the strategy. - Reproduced  aLaw enforcement - Singapore  aLaw enforcement  aAsian Journal of Public Administration  a49032  c49032d49032  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 20, Issue no: 1pAR49460r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
