Zero Tolerance Law

Zero Tolerance Law refers to policies that impose strict consequences for specific violations, often without regard to the severity of the act or the context. Commonly found in schools, workplaces, and law enforcement, these laws are designed to deter undesirable behaviors, such as drug use or violence, by ensuring that any infraction results in predetermined penalties. While the intention is to maintain order and safety, critics argue that such laws can lead to disproportionate punishments and undermine discretion in handling individual cases. Overall, they reflect a commitment to a strict, uncompromising response to rule-breaking behavior.
