锁车和拖车的变化(英文)
Changes in clamping and removals

作者介绍了最近的一些变化。根据资料，在1991年之前，只有伦敦中心区实施过大规模的锁车和拖车措施，由大都会警察局具体实施。锁车和拖车措施是从1983年开始在西敏寺和肯辛顿与切尔西的部分地区实施的，随后扩展到伦敦西区的大部分地区。
研究表明，由于锁车和拖车的实施，非法停车行为明显减少。

According to Chick(1), the only large-scale clamping and vehicle removal operation to take place in Britain up to 1991 was that carried out in central London by the metropolitan police. This commenced in 1983 in parts of Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea, with subsequent extensions to much of the
West End. Studies carried out by Kimber and later Ostler et al showed a significant reduction in illegal parking activities as a result of wheel-clamping and vehicle removal.
