Definición

  • The term zero tolerance refers to a government or private employer's nondiscretionary enforcement policy that requires fixed penalties to be imposed on any violators regardless of extenuating circumstances. Zero-tolerance policies emerged from several federal- and state-level drug enforcement initiatives in the 1980s and 1990s. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Problems; Zero-Tolerance Policies]
