Transferring 24/7 Sobriety from South Dakota to South London: The case of MOPAC’s Alcohol Abstinence Monitoring Requirement Pilot

Over the past three decades an expansive literature has emerged that is dedicated to analysing the processes of policy transfer. One neglected pathway involves subnational agents emulating crime control innovations that have emerged in subnational jurisdictions of other nations. This paper presents the case of the London Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime’s (MOPAC) Alcohol Abstinence Monitoring Requirement (AAMR) Pilot to examine the multi‐level factors that facilitate and/or constrain international‐subnational crime and justice policy transfer.
