This study examined the sociodemographic patterns in interactions between young novice drivers and police officers in Charlotte, North Carolina, analyzing the reasons for traffic stops and their outcomes. A binary logistic regression (BLR) model and association rule mining (ARM) were applied. The BLR model indicated that, compared to vehicle regulatory reasons, factors such as unsafe movements and speeding are associated with higher odds of stopped drivers being young novices rather than adults aged +18. Stopped non-White drivers are generally less likely to be young novices compared to White drivers, except for Hispanic drivers, who show higher odds. Additionally, stopped drivers who receive a written warning rather than a verbal one or interact with officers with 15–24 years of service, compared to junior officers, are more likely to be young novices. The ARM results revealed that young White novice drivers are frequently stopped for vehicle equipment issues. Interactions between White male officers and non-Hispanic young Black male novice drivers often result in arrests, especially when initiated by searches, involving officers with 1–3 or 4–14 years of service. Traffic stops involving young Asian female drivers mostly stem from stop light/sign violations, typically handled by White male officers. The findings can inform safety education for young novice drivers and raise awareness of traffic stop trends across police departments, fostering responsible driving behaviors and adherence to traffic laws and contributing to socially sustainable mobility.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34478,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Futures","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 101660"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145977574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our research focused on actors and actions that promote sustainable development and food self-sufficiency. Here, we conducted a systematic literature review on the factors influencing national food self-sufficiency. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, 92 scientific studies were identified. Using inductive coding, individual factors, such as climate change, agricultural land, population, plant-based diet, and protectionism, were grouped into external events, agricultural inputs, macroeconomic factors, dietary habits, trade and agricultural policies, urbanization, alternative agricultural production systems, and food waste and losses. Using the approach of multi-actor constellations, we also identified actors and actions that can influence these factors. The findings showed that beyond the responsibility of policymakers to develop institutional frameworks for promoting food self-sufficiency, the intensification of agricultural production and a change in consumer behavior toward a more sustainable diet, among other factors, had a positive impact on food self-sufficiency. However, a closer look revealed that the intensification of agricultural production had adverse impacts on the environment, highlighting the need for a sustainable intensification. Changing consumer behavior toward a plant-based diet was associated with positive impacts on the environment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34478,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Futures","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 101566"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145658782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
