Annotation:
This article outlines a study done to test when college age students were more likely to get into a car with an intoxicated driver. The results showed that a student was more likely to get into a car if there was no one with them or if someone with them refused to get into the car. However, if they were alone or if someone was with them and refused to get into the car they tended to refuse also. This is applicable to my research because Criminology is all about why people do things, criminal or deviant, and the factors in this experiment help explain why people get into a car with an intoxicated driver.
