Command and Control Regulation

Command and Control Regulation refers to a type of government policy where specific standards and rules are established to control activities and reduce negative impacts, such as pollution. Under this approach, authorities set limits on the amount of pollutants that can be emitted or require companies to use certain technologies. Compliance is often enforced through inspections and penalties. This method provides clear expectations and standards for businesses but can be criticized for being inflexible and potentially costly. Overall, it aims to protect public health and the environment by directly regulating behaviors.
