Note
A plural that cuts against the grain: enforcement usually works as a mass noun, naming the act or the force of compelling rather than a countable thing. The plural appears when each instance counts separately, such as individual actions taken by an agency or the uneven ways rules are applied from place to place. Where one ongoing activity is meant, the singular reads more naturally: stricter enforcement, not stricter enforcements.
