enforcements
Compulsory compliance actions
Enforcements are acts of compelling compliance with a law, rule, or obligation.
The word appears most often in legal and regulatory contexts: The city increased enforcements of parking violations.
Unlike the singular enforcement, which names the general concept, enforcements emphasizes discrete instances or actions: a series of enforcements against unlicensed vendors.
